About me: About Jars of Glass:
Teenage sisters Chloe and Shana recall fondly the days when their mother wove stories about kingdoms under the sea. Now that Mom is "away," Chloe does not allow herself to believe in fairy tales. She is too busy caring for her adopted brother, Micah, because Dad has become withdrawn. Shana copes by escaping every night under the cover of Goth garb. The day the family visits Mom for the first time is the day Chloe learns why Shana will never allow their mother to return. It is up to the sisters to pull together and form a new definition of family.
"Co-authors Barkley and Hepler offer a seamless, striking story..." Kirkus Reviews *starred review*
We are the co-authors of several young adult novels. Dream Factory tells a story of late-night parties, mysterious Phantoms, and decapitated chipmunks...oh, and love. It's a love story, set at Disneyworld during a character strike. When the regular character actors at Disney World go on strike, the teens hired as replacements learn that it isn’t exactly the Happiest Place on Earth. Ella gets to be Cinderella, simply because the shoe fits. It should be a dream come true, but Ella no longer believes in dreams. Luke is a fur character, Dale the chipmunk (you know, as in Chip and...). Chip is played by his girlfriend, Cassie, who is perfect in every way. Why, then, does Luke find himself more drawn to imperfect things like the theme park’s Phantom? A team-building scavenger hunt brings Luke and Ella together. As they uncover the Magic Kingdom’s treasures, they discover an undeniable magic between them.
Our first novel, Scrambled Eggs at Midnight was also a love story (but as someone once said, every story is a love story...) that takes place at a Renaissance Fair and a Christian fat camp. And you get recipes. To learn more about Brad's other fiction, please visit www.bradbarkley.com
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.
What genre are you exploring for this new novel of yours? I signed-up with Facebook once but I have to find the user name and password. oops. Never used it again.
Hi Brad! It was great meeting you at the Baltimore Book Festival. I think the rain just added to the ambiance. :) Hope to see you on the panel next year!
