About me: I write young adult novels involving teens with complicated and angst-ridden lives. Yay, angst! My first novel, Story of a Girl, is in stores now - mostly in paperback though you can still find the hardback if you look. It was a finalist for the 2007 National Book Award! My second book, Sweethearts, came out February 1, 2008, and is now available in paperback, too. AND NOW! My third novel, Once Was Lost is now available! All are published by Little, Brown. If you want to find out more about the books, go here: books!. If you want to know all the excruciating detail about my daily life, be sure to visit me at sarazarr.com, or if you are a LiveJournal user, go here. And leave comments! I love comments!
And by the way, if you send me a friend request and your profile has like no information and it's not obvious that you are a teen fan of YA or another writer, please include a message of introduction so I know why you're friending me. Thanks!!

Was it as simple as a bird flying in the day, or a wave washing ashore? What inspires you? Does hope for a better day push your imagination to explore Is it you, is it someone, is it something, that brings you stimulation for the insight to revelations of what could be possible If you give a simple explanation, is there no intrigue to you? If you answer with complexities, will anyone care about what inspire you? Yet the question comes What inspires you? For me it’s the love for the peace, I desire in me So I do what I do I hope that inspires you, or you find what inspires you And the reason why, don’t waste your inspiration, trying to explain why cr2008 Seattle’s Poetry Man, Alvin Lloyd Alexander Horn the nationally known best selling author Read about his books, short stories and poetry, and hear his spoken word at http://alvinhorn.com
