I'm a mystery writer, so I'm very picky about thrillers. Defending Jacob is still one of my favorite books, with some jaw-dropping twists that actually made perfect sense (not always a given) when I read them. I even made a lengthy trek across town j

| I've always loved Tana French's writing, although sometimes I've had quibbles about the plot. But I loved this book all the way through. Reading it is like a master class in writing. ...more | |

Thanks for accepting my friend request! I look forward to reading your book.
Wow! That's pretty impressive. It was inspired by a real chain of overseas boot camps. I have links to some articles on my web site.
I read your book Shock Point one summer, when I was eleven or twelve, and I still think about it almost every day.

:) I loved 'Shock Point'! I read it around the beginning of the summer (late June/ early July)and I still think about it every now and then! Thatcher is probably one of my favorite characters of all time.
Clare Bear wrote: "Oregonians unite!! =D"I didn't realize you were so close. LK Madigan and Lauren Kate and I will all be at Powells Beaverton on Saturday, October 2 and 2 pm if you ever get out that way and want to meet us.
Ok thanks. I guess I'm half-way there huh?

There's a good book by Gail Carson Levine called Writing Magic that will give you some good ideas about how to be a better writer. You can get it at the library.
It's like anything else - first you're not very good, but if you keep working at it you get better.
How do you wright so well? I need help. I have no clue what I'm doing, just thought I'd ask.
Hi April,Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author here on Goodreads as well as elsewhere!
Wow! That is so cool! Thank you for passing it on. I have another book out called Torched, about a girl who goes undercover with a radical environmental group. And then next fall I'll have a new one about a blind girl who gets kidnapped called "Girl, Stolen"Thanks for sending me my first-ever message on Good Reads. I can't even figure out why it doesn't show my profile pic.
I let my teacher bowro Shock Point to read and she made it the book of the week (she picks a book each week to tell us about and recament). Now a bunch of people wont to bowro my book.
