(A quick plug for reviews: They make authors very happy, but they make L.B. do back flips. If you've taken the time to read STOLEN SECRETS, L.B. hopes you'll share your thoughts on Amazon and other reader-friendly sites like Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2uWKw4X)

L.B.'s debut YA novel, now sold as an E-reader, was LEAGUE OF STRAYS. Through the eyes of 17-year-old, Charlotte, the novel explores the ways we deal with bullies, the people we choose to follow and the psychology of sociopathy.

L.B. lives in Marin County with her husband, two daughters, and a couple of "SPCA specials," AKA marvelous mutts. When she's not writing, L.B. is obsessed with genealogy and her family tree. She now knows she's related to Johnny Cash, the first male to be hung at the Salem Witch Trials, Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart King of Scotland, and shockingly, her own husband (distantly, thankfully.) She's met five third to sixth cousins and loved most of them. She's also a private creative writing tutor for high school students and a freelance editor and advisor on writing for children projects.
