So I started out the week quite giddy and am still holding on to that buoyant mood thanks to the fact that The Lighter Side of Life and Death made Booklist's 2010 Top 10 Romance Fiction for Youth list!
It's in fantastic company with Fire, Flash Burnout, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, Illyria (which I'm reading right now) and more. Have a look at the entire list here:
* Top 10 Romance Fiction for Youth: 2010
The cover art for Booklist's September 15th Spotlight on romance issue is The Lighter Side cover which I'm also thrilled about. Thank you, Booklist!
C. K. Kelly Martin
likes to write things down and is a firm believer in the John Lennon quote, "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." She's written a middle grade sci-fi and multiple young adult books including I KNOW IT'S OVER, YESTERDAY, and DELICATE. Her most recent novel, released under the name Cara Martin, is a creepy horror centring around a kidnapping and a malevolent house.
