Secret Society Girl
I haven’t been reading much lately (on account of Magic’s Child eating my brain), but I had a quick squiz at my friend Diana Peterfreund‘s very first novel, Secret Society Girl, and before I knew it I’d read the whole thing. Oops! (And lost hours of valuable writing time! Curse you, Diana!)SSG hits the stores today. It’s a read-in-one-gulp hoot. Perfect for summer. Enjoy!

Here’s the debut novelist and her new baby. Aren’t they adorable?

just have a quick question…i just finished reading “magic or madness” and was wondering have you and your husband ever written a book together? if not have either of you ever considered it. i’ve read some of his, and am now looking for book 2 of you’re trilogy, i love your writing as well as his, and think it would be really interesting to see it put together.

Friends should not let friends post mad blog pictures of themselves. Note the eyes going in two different directions?

Dkanon: Because it’s well known that the prettier a writer is the better their writing. Take Dylan Thomas for example.
Belinda: Sorry for being so slow, but I’ve now added your question and my response to my FAQ. It was about time—it certainly is becoming a very frequently asked question.
Diana: I adore that photo of you! You don’t look even a tiny bit mad. What you look is justifiably proud of your fabulous novel!
