About me: Hello! Justina here. I'm a novelist for young adults, and my books include my latest, North of Beautiful, Girl Overboard, and Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies)! I'm back from China, and you can keep up with my adventures on the blog here on MySpace or on justinachenheadley.blogspot.com.
Here's what people are saying about NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL:
“All of her characters hold secrets; finding them out will be as rewarding as Terra’s discoveries of caches.” --Publishers Weekly, *starred* review
“Look out Sarah Dessen. You may have met your match in Headley.” --Kirkus, *starred* review
Who I'd like to meet: Bill Drayton, cool readergirlz around the world, Nancy Pearl (check!), K.L. Going, Little Willow (check!), HipWriterMama, Miss Erin, Kelly Herald, Chasing Ray, Seven Impossible Things, Tanita Davis, Book Chic, Melissa J (check!), and all the other kid lit bloggers who make the reading world a much better place.
Justina, I don't think i've told you this yet, but i absolutely loved North of Beautiful. I've recommended it to all of my friends and they've loved it too. It's amazing! Hands down, my favorite of your books. It was in many ways relatable. I loved it. It was easy to get to know the characters and feel like you were there- not just because you mentioned our little Bavarian Village. Ahh i can't believe you mentioned Leavenworth! Anyways, thank you so much! :) Have a wonderful summer! Hopefully we'll see you at ABFAS for a signing... *hint hint* :) Sincerely, Nicole Burris (:

Hi Justina! I was looking for different books on Amazon today & came across this book, "Evermore: The Immortals" by Alyson Noel & the cover looks like the same picture for your "North of Beautiful". You prob'ly already know but I just wanted to pass it along. Hope you're having a good day!!
I just saw your note!! I can't believe you have another book out??? You must be the most amazingly organized, focused, person! I know how hard you work on rdgz and didn't I hear something about a move to China??? I am trying to read "bone crossed" by patricia Briggs before the kids snatch it up.., more supernatural happenings in wa!! The kids love it.... Hope this finds you well...

I put North Of Beautiful on hold at my book store today :) It was the last one on the shelf and I didn't want anyone else to get it before me! I can't wait to get it home and read it...The first three pages were wonderful ;)
Mine, too. I got to tell her that I had to put down "The House You Pass Along The Way" while I was reading it because a passage was just so beautiful. And I got all upset, thinking "I can never write something like this - something this beautiful." And then, a moment later, I realized, "I don't have to write something like this - Jacqueline's already doing it, so wonderfully. I need to write my OWN stories." And I felt so much better (and could keep reading...) She's awesome - I hope it works out to have her be part of your amazing Readergirlz phenomenon! best, Lee
