About me:
I write novels for teens. Check out my new book, The Latent Powers of Dylan Fontaine (Delacorte/Random House 2008). It's about a kid who accidentally gets busted for shoplifting and drug possession. When he gets out of jail, he goes on a journey of self discovery and winds up in his best friend's movie. Please check out my other books too: Brothers, Boyfriends & Other Criminal Minds (Delacorte/Random House 2007), and Dancing in the Streets of Brooklyn (Delacorte/Random House 2002). You can visit my website at www.aprillurie.com /
Who I'd like to meet:
My readers! Other authors. Librarians and teachers with an interest in YA literature. Also, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, Michael Cunningham, Tracey Chevalier, Al Pacino, and Bob Dylan.

Thank you for the friendship. As you can see, I am a writer promoting my work on myspace. I have a fiction blog where I post short stories as a way of staying in touch with fans and to give potential new readers a chance to gauge my work. It would be very cool if you'd check it out. <br /> <br /> <br />Thanks again, <br />Mark <br />

Ape! How've you been? Things here have been insanely busy. Between work and applying for grad school, I haven't had time for sleep. No really. I finally got to pass out this afternoon and it was awesome. Are you busy the afternoon of Valentine's Day? We are doing a Romance Reader's Social at Michelle's library and it's going to be a lot of fun. If you aren't busy, you should come!

Hi April,
Thanks, and nice to meet you too.
You're actually going to be my instructor for this writing school I currently enrolled in. I'm planning on reading your books. They seem really good.
