How Much Do you Love your Friends?

Did you know that June 8 is National Friendship Day?



Me and some of my BEST Teen Girlfriends! (grown up of course)
 

Well, for those of you in the Excited States it is. For those of us in Canada and other parts of the world, we'll play along and join is, because as FRIENDS of the USA, that's what we like to do!!!! Celebrate!!!

To celebrate the APRIL 23, 2013 release of my book about friends, HOW I LOST YOU, I'm running a blog series on friends...your favorite author's high school best friends...book bloggers and their best friends...maybe we can catch up with some agents and editors and find out their friends! We'll talk about friends we can't live without....the hardest part of growing apart from your best friend...things friends do that no one else can... it's all part of the fun (and even not so fun stories that we can all relate to)

Author Jennifer Brown

Author Kimberly Derting

I've already featured some AMAZING authors on the blog including...Jennifer Brown, Kimberly Derting, Melissa Walker, Jennifer Jabaley, and I was also honored to feature an amazing Librarian (and non fiction author) Betsy Fraser who is equally passionate about the YA community!

I'll be featuring more great authors, and book bloggers and librarians and anyone who'd like to share a story or memory of their best friend!


Make sure you check back often for more authors, like the adorable Roecker sisters!

YA Authors, Lisa and Lara Roecker
