Rain

The girls are back! That’s right, it’s Thursday, and I’ve posted a new entry at http://outsidergirlswrite.blogspot.com

This week features Rain. Rain is Kayla’s (OGW 2, Oct.1,2009) best friend. Rain’s mother recently took off to become a dancer in NYC, Rain’s father is an alcoholic. This is the morning of the belly button piercing and the party Kayla was so eager to attend.


*If you write a blog for or about YA girls, please email me a link (shelley@shelleystoehr.com). I’m starting to add links to other blogs at outsidergirlswrite… and think about adding a link to OGW at your blog!

Happy reading!

Selected Works

Young Adult Fiction/kindle
Somebody's Daughter
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.
