Before The Junction of Sunshine and Lucky, I wrote books for teens.  The best part of publishing those books was hearing straight from readers (usually through Facebook or Twitter).

I decided I needed to create a site in order to hear from the readers of The Junction of Sunshine and Lucky.  This site is just for you!
