Each group is made up of 20 authors and I am on TEAM RED!




This means that my bonus material will be found on the red team. If you get lost on the hunt simply return to the hunt website and pick up where you left off. While you check out the website, don't forget to vote on the polls, follow the site, and check out all the prizes. You can even tweet from there too!

DEAR TEEN ME COVER REVEAL

DEAR TEEN ME Anthology Cover & Contributors Revealed!

      
The DEAR TEEN ME anthology had it's big cover reveal yesterday!

I'm so happy to be a part of this book and hope some of the letters reach the hearts of teens (and used to be teens) everywhere!!!

Zest Books, November 2012.


Here is the description from Amazon:
Dear Teen Me includes advice from over 70 YA authors (including Lauren Oliver, Ellen Hopkins, and Nancy Holder, to name a few) to their teenage selves. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including physical abuse, body issues, bullying, friendship, love, and enough insecurities to fill an auditorium. So pick a page, and find out which of your favorite authors had a really bad first kiss? Who found true love at 18? Who wishes he’d had more fun in high school instead of studying so hard? Some authors write diary entries, some write letters, and a few graphic novelists turn their stories into visual art. And whether you hang out with the theater kids, the band geeks, the bad boys, the loners, the class presidents, the delinquents, the jocks, or the nerds, you’ll find friends–and a lot of familiar faces–in the course of Dear Teen Me.
