I’m so excited!! Harcourt will publish my next edgy YA novel (tentatively titled STAINED) in 2013. In STAINED, Sarah, a teen with body image issues and a port wine stain, gets abducted and must find a way to rescue herself.
Like I did with SCARS and HUNTED, I drew on my abuse and trauma experience to write STAINED. I make all my main characters emotionally strong, and Sarah is no exception. She fights back.
I have the contract in my hands–it is SO cool to have that. And I’ve already been talking with Karen Grove, my wonderful editor at Harcourt. I love her insight, suggestions, and feedback; she’s helped me make STAINED an even stronger, more powerful book. I’m so excited about it, and can’t wait until STAINED is out and I can share it with you! (beaming and beaming)
