Tomorrow, I will be speaking about Vampire Stories for Young Adults and Young Adult Literature at the Fountaindale Public Library Author Fair.
Basically, I will share the background behind the series, the attraction to vampires and how this series mirrors adolescent challenges and angst, particulars to keep in mind while writing for young adults, and why I chose to self-publish, along with an overview of the steps it takes to do so.
The presentations is from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 300 W. Briarcliff Road in Bolingbrook. The entire fair is from 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. and only three other authors will present.

Story by Jan Larsen. Jan was The Herald-News features editor when I began my freelance writing career.
