Hi, Everyone,
I’ve had several authors contact me recently to ask if I would send out information about their availability to do presentations/book signings so I’m passing their information along.
Please contact them directly with any questions or to book them.

From Maria E. Andreu:
I'm a New Jersey author with a young adult novel (also set in New Jersey) about an undocumented teenager. THE SECRET SIDE OF EMPTY tells the tale of M.T., a girl
who is American in every way except for one important one: on paper. It's getting nice attention from the trades, including School Library Journal, Booklist, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, VOYA and CBBC. You can read some those reviews here: http://mariaeandreu.com/about-the-secret-side-of-empty-2/praise-for-the-secret-side-of-empty/
I'm reaching out to see if there are any opportunities to partner with you to help serve the community, be it with an educational program, a reading or participation
in a panel or some other initiative. Thank you!

From Kate MacHugh:
My name is Kate MacHugh and I am a local author. My newest book;
Tormented dives deep into the teenage psyche and reveals the gruesome underbelly of high school life. I am an author and professional speaker on bullying, suicide, and self-harm.
I would love to set up at book signings at New Jersey libraries. Thank you.

From Maria T. Kelly:
My ten-year old daughter and I co-authored a fictional book, titled "The Rainbow Files: The Day I Was The Only
Kid in School". While it is set in a fictionalized version of her South Jersey elementary school, there are no specific New Jersey identifiers. It is about a girl, Shai Keshet, who wakes up one day after a storm and goes to school only to find
she is the only student there. Unsure if it's real or imagined, events take such a bizarre turn that the school and many of those in it are not same after the whirlwind that is Shai blows through.
