About this author

edit data

My debut novel, THE SUMMER WE FELL APART, was published by Harper Collins in January of 2010. It has also been chosen as a TARGET BREAKOUT BOOK on sale in Target stores nationwide.

The Summer We Fell Apart is the story of four siblings as they careen into adulthood from a painful past. When their father dies, despite years of anger and hurt, they must depend on their intense and fragile bond to remember what it means to be a family. From Amy's adolescent yearnings for a normal life, to George's search for love and Kate's struggle to not always be perfect, to the gritty details of Finn's addictive behavior, the Haas children come to learn that this family - no matter how ragged and flawed -provides all the hope they need.

'REALITY FICTION': Ripped-From-The-Headlines by Elizabeth Searle

Please welcome Elizabeth Searle to the blog. She's a fantastic writer, a contributor to a new anthology from Other Voices Books, Men Undressed and the author of Girl Held In Home from New Rivers Press. Her voice is fresh and funny and satiric and somber. Elizabeth Searle has it all -- and I'm thrilled to have her here.
