Today we'd like to introduce you to the Book Crew. Hannah and Adrienne will be posting on Mondays bringing you author interviews and book spotlights every week!
~~~
Adrienne is a Toronto native, raised in London, England, and now residing back in Toronto (confusing I know). She is married with four children, six including her husband, and her crazy Labrador puppy Bodhan, who keep her hopping. Adrienne has always been a writer in the closet. A vividly wild imagination and a love of books from an early age led her to pursue her dream of writing. Her first novel is almost polished, but she has said that for a while, and hopes for it to see the light of day outside the closet very soon. Stay tuned.
When not in the closet weaving and writing her stories, she is a freelance writer focusing on Personal Finance, where her education and career in Accounting gave her some great insights.
~~~
Hannah is a Biology major who often scribbles plot points and dialogue on the sides of her notebook instead of listening. She doesn't know what the teacher is talking about, but she will never admit that her grades have suffered for it. She writes young adult fantasy. She wrote her first screenplay when she was twelve, and owns more books than space in her apartment.
She spent most of her childhood years in sunny Australia, but now Hannah lives in Canada where the terms "sunny" and "freezing cold" go hand in hand. She is represented by Sara Crowe of Harvey Klinger Literary.

Two lucky winners will receive:
A copy of Haven by Kristi Cook and Unearthly by Cynthia Hand.

Looks like it's going to be a terrific blog! Looking forward to it all :)
Always nice to meet some fellow Canadians too, eh? :)
sounds interesting!! The prizes sound interesting and I also too many books to count, but then again it runs in the family. lol
I'm also wring some books, but I have yet to finish one. Any tips on how to get rid of a 10 year writer's block?
How exciting - congrats on your new blog!

Sorry, I meant to say what you "folks have in store," not what you "girls have in store." That was not politically correct!
