New blog post! New Outsider Girl!

This week features Maree. Maree is a newcomer Outsider Girl. I don’t know where she came from or where her story will go, but I find her to be funny, with an interesting perspective on things, and I expect she’ll be back in later posts.

About "Outsider Girls Write": Outsider Girls write outside the mainstream. They are not the popular girls, or even the average girls, but they have a lot to say. Some of the girls also appear in novels or short stories, but this is where they express what may not make it into a complete work. Some are new characters, some are from older books, such as Nancy from Crosses, some are from stories and novels in the works. Meet a new girl every week!

Selected Works

Somebody’s Daughter combines multiple points of view to tell the chilling events of a party gone wrong when the adults have all checked out of their children's lives.
Young Adult Fiction
Crosses
Nancy and Katie are best friends with one big thing in common -- they both cut themselves, “Not by accident, we do it purposely -- and regularly -- because physical pain is comforting, and because now it has become a habit.”
Weird on the Outside
When sixteen-year-old Tracey runs away she finds that making ends meet in New York City for a young girl with few real skills is nearly impossible. That’s when Tracey becomes Amanda, a topless dancer.
Tomorrow Wendy
“I’ve discovered that if you wear a big enough hat, no one worries much about what’s going on inside your head,” says Cary. And no one, not even her boyfriend, Danny, knows about the things inside Cary’s head. Especially the feelings she has for Wendy, a girl with bright green hair and hard-candy sadness in her eyes.
