About the Author
I am the author of ALWAYS, FOREVER, a YA retelling of Daphne du Maurier's REBECCA, and BEAUTY, a YA retelling of the Snow White tale. My new YA novel, CONSENT, comes out on November 10, 2015.
I've also contributed to several celebrity novels, including a New York Times-bestselling YA trilogy.
My favorite cures for writers' block are long walks, long showers, popcorn, chocolate, and really expensive coffee. I talk to myself a lot while I write (you know, to make sure the dialogue zings) .
