Is my book YA?

I instinctively feel that my book "An Eventful Summer" (about camp counsellors fooling around and accidentally getting into serious situations and "coming of age" at a summer camp in Vermont) is young adult fiction. But I hesitate.

Truth is, I don't think this book is a good fit for any one genre. And that is a cardinal sin for novels these days. It pretty much IS a coming-of-age book, though that Read more of this blog post »

Days at... is a really soft touch (that kind of zen Japanese feeling) type of book, with gentle characters and perhaps slow moving plot. But I love the feeling I get reading this. Poor old Takako (our protagonist, young lady) finds out her boyfriend ...more

Okay, so I don't normally read these sorts of romances, but this one was really short (and cost effective) so I figured I'd give it a shot. Yeah - it's really short. And it's really an efficient romance. But for what it is, it was fun and engaging. I ...more
