This week, my blogger blog features Jenna. Jenna is the main character in my upcoming novel, Spun. She is a recovering meth addict with an alcoholic mother, a dead father, a torn-up life and an uncertain future. Jenna is also an aspiring writer, carrying a notebook with her at all times in which she expresses her dreams and hopes, fears and desires, poems, images and observations. http://www.outsidergirlswrite.blogspot.com

Selected Works

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.
