About the Author
Blake grew up in Portland, Oregon.
His first love was books but he spent several years in his teens and twenties playing in bands.
Blake's first writing job was at Details magazine, where he wrote short humor pieces on the slacker lifestyle. His fiction remained unpublished until Sassy Magazine (cool girl magazine from the 90s) began publishing excerpts from his first novel.
These excerpts generated enough response to get his first novel GIRL published by Simon and Schuster. GIRL (1994) has since been translated into six foreign languages and was made into a feature film.
After GIRL, Blake published two more adult novels, EXILE (1997) and USER (2001). In 2003 he decided to try a Young Adult novel, (a book specifically for teens) and wrote THE NEW RULES OF HIGH SCHOOL. Since then he has published five YA novels, NEW RULES, ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR, PROM ANONYMOUS, GENDER BLENDER, and PARANOID PARK.
His books have won numerous awards and continue to be translated around the world. A TV movie for GENDER BLENDER is currently in development at Nickelodeon. And PARANOID PARK, is being made into a film by Gus Van Sant and MK2 Productions.
Blake Nelson currently lives with his wife in Brooklyn, NY.
From Booklist
Gr. 9-12. Pete is a talented bass guitarist in his suburban Portland, Oregon, high-school rock band. As the story progresses, he dates two girls, engaging in fairly explicitly described sex, and goes to a number of drunken parties. Meanwhile, his musical career takes off after he hooks up with a new band that's headed for a recording contract, but the signing process leaves Pete painfully aware of the tough nature of the music business. Despite a title that's unlikely to send readers to the YA literature mosh pit, this novel "rocks." Pete is a fully drawn character who reveals in a fast moving, first-person narrative what a commitment to music can mean to a young person. Todd Morning
