Hello! Today I have a interview with the awesome Erin Jade Lange! “A lonely obese boy everyone calls “Butter” is about to make history.

Interview with Katie Crouch

Hello! Today I like to welcome Katie Crouch, author of the Magnolia series!! Where to buy the book:Amazon | B&NWhere to find the author:Website | Blog | Twitter  Why do you write for teens? I love writing about teenagers, and have in all of my novels. At that time of life, the brain is expanding fourfold every day.

Research is one of my worst vices. I probably spend as much time researching as I do writing. My rule is that I...
