I am a wannabe goddess and the author of OH. MY. GODS. and GODDESS BOOT CAMP. I live in Houston, Texas, where I spend my free time fleeing hurricanes, making character profiles on MySpace (stop me before I make one for Adara—oops, too late), blogging with the Buzz Girls, and writing wherever I can find a comfy chair and a steady stream of caffeinated beverages.
When Phoebe's mom returns from Greece with a new husband and moves them to an island in the Aegean, Phoebe's plans for her senior year and track season are ancient history. Now she must attend the uberexclusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods. That's right, they're real, not myth, and their teen descendants are like the classical heroes-supersmart and superbeautiful with a few superpowers. And now they're on her track team! Armed only with her Nikes and the will to win, Phoebe races to find her place among the gods. [check out the trailer]

GODDESS BOOT CAMP (coming June 11, 2009)
Warning: Blurb contains OH. MY. GODS. spoilers!
Phoebe, who recently discovered she’s a descendant of Nike (the goddess, not the shoe), is finding that supernatural powers come with a crazy learning curve. Her stepfather, headmaster of the Academy for descendants of the Greek gods, has enrolled her at Dynamotheos Development Camp—aka Goddess Boot Camp—with a bunch of ten-year-olds for the summer. Embarrassing as that is, hopefully it’ll help her gain control over her powers in time to pass the test of the gods, continue training hard enough to qualify for the Pythian Games, and enjoy her godly boyfriend, Griffin, all while avoiding the ultimate mistake of accidentally misusing powers.
FORGIVE MY FINS (coming Summer 2010)
Half-mermaid princess Lily Sanderson grew up in the underwater kingdom of Thalassinia. For the past three years she's been living with her human aunt and attending high school on the mainland, trying to blend in with all the other students and dealing with standard teenage life: a brainiac best friend, struggling grades, a biker boy neighbor who lives to torment her, and one massive, all-encompassing, sun-moon-and-stars crush. All while keeping her mermaid self a total secret. But when her one opportunity to hook the guy of her dreams turns into a nightmare she already regrets, it will take more than a saltwater bath and a quick swim home to get her life back to normal. If that's even what she wants.

on the streets of Teheran.
This was Neda - please remember her.
