Teen Event: Girl's Nightmare Out: Marta Acosta, Kendare Blake, and Lisa Desrochers

Friday, August 24, 7:00 p.m.

AT KEPLER'S

Dark Companion by Marta Acosta

Written as an homage to Jane Eyre, Dark Companion is a lush romantic tale about an orphaned teenager who is chosen to attend an exclusive private school where things are not exactly as they seem.

Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

Kendare Blake exploded onto the Young Adult scene with her debut novel, Anna dressed in blood. Enthralling New York Times bestselling authors, reviewers, fans, and bloggers alike, Blake adeptly weaves the familiar and the unexpected into a genre-bending, refreshing new take on paranormal romance. Now, she's back with her eagerly anticipated sequel.

Last Rite by Lisa Desrochers

Last Rite is the conclusion to the thrilling, edgy Personal Demons series. If Frannie wants to keep her family and friends safe, she knows she has no choice but to go on the run. Their best defense is the power Frannie has been struggling to master, but her attempts to hone her skill go horribly awry. If Frannie doesn't learn fast, the consequences could be devastating--even apocalyptic. What happens when you can't outrun Hell...or trust the ones you love?

Kendare Blake will sign and discuss Girl of Nightmares (Tor; $17.99).

Kendare Blake is an import from South Korea who was raised in the United States by caucasian parents. You know, that old chestnut. She received a Bachelor's degree in Business from Ithaca College and a Master's degree in Writing from Middlesex University in London. She brakes for animals, the largest of which was a deer, which sadly didn't make it, and the smallest of which was a mouse, which did, but it took forever. Amongst her likes are Greek Mythology, rare red meat and veganism. She also enjoys girls who can think with the boys like Ayn Rand, and boys who scare the morality into people, like Bret Easton Ellis.

Lisa Desrochers will sign and discuss Last Rite (Tor $9.99).

Lisa Desrochers is the author of the young adult fantasy novels Personal Demons and Original Sin. She lives in central California with her husband and two very busy daughters. She can always be found with a book in her hand, and she adores stories that take her to new places and then take her by surprise. Growing up all over the United States inspired wanderlust and Desrochers loves to travel, which works out well since she lectures internationally on a variety of health care topics. Lisa Desrochers has a doctorate in physical therapy and maintains a full time practice.
