About this author

edit data

My autobiography MARNI (part of HCI's Louder Than Words series) was on the New York Public Library Stuff for the Teen Age 2010 List. I then signed a four book contract with KTeen. My first YA novel, AWKWARD, has been optioned by the Disney Channel as a made-for-TV movie and translated into Portuguese, Spanish, and Hungarian.

In my free time I can be found reading romance novels, rollerblading, singing really loudly (and off-key) in public and watching copious amounts of television--strictly for artistic inspiration, of course.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Marina Adair’s Kissing under the Mistletoe was an engaging holiday romance that I couldn’t put down. She had me laughing out loud within the first ten pages and rooting for her characters all the way. I highly recommend...more
