About the author
Kaitlin Scott
35 books7 followersI'm a mother of 3 boys and 1 little girl (which is a full time job on its own) with a full time paying job and full time writing. I'm clearly exhausted :) but I enjoy every minute of it.
I have been writing since I was in elementary school and have always been told I tell an amazing story because I can't ever leave a single detail out. I tend to talk at length and am easily excited.
My greatest writing accomplishment is For Danny, republished as The Murder of a Boy, a young adult fiction novel set in North Texas.
Happy Reading!

What a powerful story! After their friend is murdered in a brutal hate crime, two friends are forever changed in Kaitlin Scott’s The Murder of a Boy. This book is super emotional and moves you with its powerful anti-bullying message.
