Yes, Kieran Scott is my real name, but I also write Alloy Entertainment books under the pseudonym Kate Brian. Call me either in your messages. I swear I'll try to repsond either way!

Clearly I'm all excited about my two book series, PRIVATE and PRIVILEGE. If you like a good, moody mystery mixed with angst and romance and lots of glamour, I think you'll really like what the books have in store. There's also that intriguing private school mystique with a dash of romance and some lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-the-famous. So much to explore . . . . I'm having a great time writing the books, and I hope you'll have an even better time reading them. Can't wait to hear what you think!
PRIVATE The bestselling series by Kate Brian
Tradition, Honor, Excellence...and secrets so dark they're almost invisible
Fifteen-year-old Reed Brennan wins a scholarship to Easton Academy -- the golden ticket away from her pill-popping mother and run-of-the-mill suburban life. But when she arrives on the beautiful, tradition-steeped campus of Easton, everyone is just a bit more sophisticated, a bit more gorgeous, and a lot wealthier than she ever thought possible. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton, Easton has not accepted her. She feels like she's on the outside, looking in.
Until she meets the Billings Girls.
They are the most beautiful, intelligent, and intensely confident girls on campus. And they know it. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everything. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle.
Reed uses every part of herself -- the good, the bad, the beautiful -- to get closer to the Billings Girls. She quickly discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude, hanging in their designer clothing-packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. And they'll do anything to keep their secrets private.

I ordered Beautiful Disaster online like a month ago and it finally shipped last Friday. I can't wait for it to get here! I read the first one while I was stuck in the Atlanta airport by myself during Christmas break and I've been waiting ever since! Thank you!
Kieran/Kate I was wondering if you could clear up a few things the first being who are on the covers of the private seris, second is, is the web seris based on the books or just events you thought might happen at easton. Finally i was wondering how many private books you are planning on writing and when does the one after paradise lost come out?
Hi, Kieran! I'm such a huge fan of the Private series! I told one of my friends at work about it. I'm not sure if she's read it. I read and own all of them, up until Paradise Lost. I can't wait to find out what happens next! Have a good Memorial Day!
