At age ten, Wendy Brant wrote her first book, My Mysterious Double, the story of a girl and an impostor pretending to be her. Years later, after graduating with a degree in journalism from Northwestern University and completing the Publishing Institute at the University of Denver, Wendy wrote adult fiction (albeit unpublished) while working as an HR manager and being a mom. But when she started reading the same YA books as her kids, her attention and passion shifted.

I'm still getting the hang of this "being an author" stuff. :-) I'm so glad you enjoyed Zenn Diagram! Yes, I would LOVE to publish more books, and the likelihood of that increases the better that Zenn Diagram does, so spread the word! As for what I'm working on -- I have a completed YA dystopian story that I'd love to see published someday, and I'm also working on a contemporary YA. Hopefully you'll be able to read both of them in the future!

Thanks again for the question!(less)

Well ... at the time I started writing Zenn Diagram, my daughter was a freshman in high school and I watched her struggle with allowing herself to be vulnerable. It was hard for her to let other people see her weaknesses and struggles. And I wondered... what if you couldn't hide your vulnerabilities? What if someone could see them right from the start? And I think that's where the idea for Eva's gift came from. I hope that answers your question!(less)

The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni
"OH EM GEEEEE you guys. Where do I even start with this BOOK?!

There are some parts that are so, horribly, atrociously bad. I mean truly cringe-y, one star, gagging awful. I had numerous Liz Lemon worthy eye rolls in this story.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
"This book had the nerve, the audacity, and the unmitigated gall to come into my home where I pay the bills… and let me down.

On the bright side, however, at least it’s not a Percy Jackson movie.

I have so many issues with this book. But let me discuss " Read more of this review »
