Jennifer Castle received her B.A. in Creative Writing at Brown University and worked as a celebrity publicist's assistant, an advertising copywriter, and a struggling screenwriter (yes, that's an actual job) before falling into a niche producing websites for kids and teens. Her first novel, THE BEGINNING OF AFTER was a 2012 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection as well as a Chicago Public Library "Best of the Best" book. At this event, Jennifer will talk about her new novel, You Look Different in Real Life, forthcoming from HarperTeen in June 2013. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband and two daughters.

Elizabeth Norris briefly taught high school English and history before trading the southern California beaches and sunshine for Manhattan's recent snowpocalyptic winter. She harbors dangerous addictions to guacamole, red velvet cupcakes, sushi, and Argo Tea, fortunately not all together. Unbreakable is the third book in her series, following UNRAVELING and UNDONE, and continues the story of one girl's fight to save her family, her world, and the one boy she never saw coming.

Kim Purcell grew up in a small town. It wasn't right for her, so she got out, went to university, got married and moved to LA. She wrote two "practice" novels before Trafficked. She has two kids, and then moved to New York, which she loves. In her spare time, she's a swimmer, a runner and a yogi. She dances in elevators and changing rooms. She laughs a lot and sometimes she yells.
