Romance! Love! Lust! 02/27/2018 Let's talk about LURV in YA literature! On Sunday, February 25th, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel of authors who write contemporary YA literature which I called, "Romance, Love and Lust: Is it all the same in YA lit?"

Fab Friday at Bravo Medical Magnet School! 02/17/2018 There's nothing like meeting awesome, smart, attentive students to really cheer up your day! On Friday, Romina Russell and I visited a couple of English classes at the Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet School in Los Angeles to talk about our books, about writing, books we wish we'd written and characters we hate (in our own work, not like, Voldemort, lol!). Romina is the author of the YA sci-fi fantasy series, ZODIAC, in which each book is about a planet based on one of the signs of the zodiac
