About me:

Hi, I'm the author of the forthcoming LOVE IN THE CORNER POCKET, a teen novel about a love--and billiards--triangle, which recently sold to ya goddess editor Abigail McAden at Scholastic. LOVE IN THE CORNER POCKET will be released in the summer of 2008. I'm also the author of the forthcoming teen paranormal trilogy, DEAD IS THE NEW BLACK (Harcourt, August 08), DEAD IS A STATE OF MIND (Harcourt, October 08), and DEAD IS SO LAST YEAR (Harcourt, Spring 09), which will be edited by the fabulous Julie Tibbott. THE COMEBACK will be published by Scholastic/Point sometimes in 2009. My first novel was UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT. In a series of papers for Honors English, a senior girl relates the difficulties of being blessed with a voluptuous body that began appearing in fifth grade. I also write mid-grade novels for Mirrorstone Books under the pen name Lana Perez. Check out my photos section for more covers. ..

    Hey...it's Elly...I hope I'm not visiting your page too much!

    As you already know, I believe our minds can achieve greatness, once we learn how to harness our own mind's ability to create and attract that which we desire to see happen. However, this isn't some pull a rabbit out of a hat trick. If you wish to use your own mind's power to improve your self, then you need to really take your thoughts very seriously. To jump start things...I created a small flash affirmation for success...the true magic is within your mind. Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains! Believe the affirmations in your mind and heart...do this until you achieve your heart's desire! You can do all things through Christ who strengthens YOU!!!

    I will stay in touch.
    Love,
    Elly
