Anthology

My story, "Romeo and What's Her Name", in "The First Time" e-book anthology was written about in several reviews.
Take a look!
From "The Prolific Novelista":"Most Rib-Poppingly Hilarious: Romeo and What's-Her-Name, by Shani Petroff - Read it. Just... just read it. That's all I can say."http://prolificnovelista.com/2012/ya-anthology-review-the-first-time/

From "The Long and the Short of it Reviews":"There are several funny stories where I was laughing out loud at the antics and the dialogue of the characters. ...

In Romeo and What's Her Name by Shani Petroff we meet Emily who agrees to be the understudy to the lead in her best friend's play. Why not? Understudies almost never have to perform, right? Wrong! I could totally relate to Emily's predicament which made the story all the more hilarious."

From "pacey1927":"There are a couple of laugh aloud funny stories including "Cart Princess" about a grocery store employee who falls in love in the produce aisle and "Romeo and Whats Her Name" about a stand in actress who never learned her lines."
I appreciate the mentions in the reviews! And I hope you'll all check out the story!!!

Tech Special

In addition to writing books--I also do a few other things. Among them--working for Fox 5 in New York City.
Tonight the station is airing a tech special that I produced! It's a high tech holiday gift giving guide hosted by Shelly Palmer.
You can catch "Shelly Palmer Digital Living" at 10:30pm.
(After it airs, Myfoxny.com usually posts it online... and you'll be able to find it on shellypalmer.com as well).
And on Wednesday and Thursday I'll be producing "X Factor" pieces for the 5, 6, and 10pm newscasts!
Hope you'll check them out!

Short Story Collection

Here's some info on the short story collection:

My story is the fourth one. Just a heads up for my younger readers, while my story is age appropriate for all my readers, there are some stories in the collection geared for teens not tweens--so keep that in mind!
The collection is wonderful, I loved the stories, and I'm very excited to be a part of it!
Hope you enjoy it as well!

I'm back!

Sorry I've been away from this blog so long! (But I have been blogging. I have a weekly blog on another site and having been busy typing away over there... but I'm going to try and be better about using this blog as well!)
Many of you have been asking if I'm working on anything new. And the answer is yes! I have some fun projects in the works. And one is coming out very soon! I have a short story in an anthology. More info to follow!
But here's the cover! I think it's gorgeous!

Radio Interview

Check out this interview I did about Bedeviled with former co-worker and Good Day New York reporter, Ernabel Demillo! It was great to catch up with her and to get to speak with Dr. Barna Donovan!
I had a lot of fun!

culturewars's Podcast www.culturewars.libsyn.comBarna and Ernabel are having a devil of a good time on Culture Wars! Author Shani Petroff discusses her "Bedeviled" series of young adult novels about Angel Garrett, a typical teenager who finds out that her father happens to be the Devil himself.
