About this item
Seventeen-year-old Quinn can't feel physical pain. Born with a rare neurological condition, he's faced accidents and emergency room visits. It's a surprise he's still alive - a fact that has caused him to be left to his own devices for most of his life. No school, no friends, no rules. At the mercy of his older sister Caitlin, who has spent the past few years caring for their dying father, he spends his days drinking at a nearby bar, testing his limits, and working on a graphic novel about a mysterious vigilante called Shadow Man. Lately, though, even his art has taken a turn for the worse. Quinn has created a new character called Demon Boy who destroys everything he touches, and now Quinn can't decide how his book should end. Furthermore, an ominous black dog has started to follow him everywhere.
About the Author
Thanks for visiting!
I'm a screenwriter/director who has worked in a wide range of formats, from digital to television to features, and PAINLESS is my debut YA novel.
I was born in New York City, grew up in New Jersey, and graduated with a degree in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University. I now live in Los Angeles with my husband, son, and neurotic-but-adorable rescue dog, and stubbornly maintain hope that I will still get a pony someday, but would probably settle for some chickens and a goat or two. Especially those adorable fainting ones.
