Author of Twins and Bad Marie
Since 1990, a group of Barnes & Noble booksellers has met seasonally to select the best forthcoming new work by debuting and underappreciated writers. Chosen solely on the basis of literary merit, these exceptional books are promoted throughout Barnes & Noble. Then each spring, a group of distinguished literary jurists name two outstanding writers (one each in fiction and nonfiction) from the previous year’s Discover picks for a career-changing prize — the Discover Award.
Bad Marie is a Discover Great New Writers Selection for Fall 2010.
