edit data

Patty Blount grew up quiet and a bit invisible in Queens, NY, but found her voice in books. Today, she writes smart and strong characters willing to fight for what’s right. She’s the award-winning author of edgy, realistic, gut-wrenching contemporary and young adult romance. Still a bit introverted, she gets lost often, eats way too much chocolate, and tends to develop mad, passionate crushes on fictional characters. Let’s be real; Patty’s not nearly as cool as her characters, but she is a solid supporter of women’s rights and loves delivering school presentations.

Patty is best known for her internet issues novels, SEND, a 2012 Junior Library Guild Fall Pick and TMI, a 2014 Watty winner, and her #MeToo novels, including SOME BOYS, a 2015 C ...more

It's Banned Book Week!

I am completely against book bans in any form. Parents have the right to determine what's appropriate for THEIR and only THEIR children to read, not all of us.

SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW was banned in a Florida school district and it just tortures me. I've had so many readers -- male readers, too! tell me how the novel helped them understand a complicated issue a bit more clearly.

I hope you'll join m Read more of this blog post »
