Nina LaCour

Hicklebee's Teen Advisory Board (TAB) presents three amazing authors Friday, October 3 @ 7:00

Jandy Nelson Jandy Nelson, like her characters in I’LL GIVE YOU THE SUN, comes from a superstitious lot. She was tutored from a young age in the art of the four-leaf clover hunt; she knocks wood, throws salt, and carries charms in her pockets. Currently a full-time writer, Jandy lives and writes in San Francisco, California—not far from the settings of her books. Stephanie Kuehn Stephanie Kuehn holds degrees in linguistics and sport psychology, and is currently working toward a doctorate in clinical psychology. Complicit is her newest novel. She lives in Northern California with her husband, their three children, and a joyful abundance of pets. When she’s not writing, she’s running. Or reading. Or dreaming.
