If you’re in Brooklyn or the Brooklyn area on September 23, be sure to stop by the Brooklyn Book Festival, held annually at the Brooklyn Borough Hall and Plaza (209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn NY 11201). Not only is it always terrific fun, but this year I’ll be appearing on a panel at the Youth Stoop!

It’s a Hard Knock Life

Being a teen can be hard. Whether the issue is bullying, teen pregnancy or even a serial killer dad, this is a time in life that’s as thrilling as it is confusing, full of questions and decisions. Join popular authors Susane Colasanti (Keep Holding On) and Barry Lyga (I Hunt Killers) along with debut author Louise Rozett (Confessions of an Angry Girl) as they discuss tough choices and the teens who make them and why the teenage years are such a writing inspiration.

Swing by and see us! Signing to follow the panel.
