edit data

My first published novel was CHEATING LESSONS (Simon & Schuster/Atheneum, 2002), in which a teenage girl must finesse a cheating scandal in her school. It won an Edgar nomination for Best YA mystery, and has been republished in print, ebook and audio in 2016.
My next book is UNACCOUNTED FOR, also Young Adult but a bit edgier--suitable for mature teens and adults (has a male hero this time).
Latest book is adult fiction tentatively entitled PROJECT OASIS, and I hope to publish it soon.

Quotes by Nan Willard Cappo (?)

“If love was a river, then Martha's was the Nile: enormous, life-giving, and at regular intervals capable of drowning you in murk for reasons you didn't understand. But you couldn't do without it. And no one expected you to.”
― Nan Willard Cappo

“I have discovered that most people have no one to talk to, no one, that is, who really wants to listen. When it does at last dawn on a man that you really want to hear about his business, the look that comes over his face is something to see.”
― Walker Percy, The Moviegoer
