Seniors #10

by Eileen Goudge

She's made him what he is today... — Gayle is happy to help her friends transform square Bruce into a Glenwood High heartthrob. As a newly-emerged "Slenderella," she knows how terrific it is to change from an ugly duckling into a swan. And when she's assigned the task of teaching Bruce to drive, Gayle discovers that she really enjoys his company.

As the plan gets under way, many of the girls around school begin to notice the new Bruce. He's delighted, but for some odd reason, Gayle doesn't feel as elated as she should.

When Bruce comes to her for kissing practice, Gayle has to admit she's fallen in love with him. But soon Bruce won't need her anymore. Gayle's beginning to regret that she and her friends ever dreamed up the idea of PRESENTING SUPERHUNK.

About the author

I began writing at the age of eight and wrote my way through the lean years before I found success as New York Times' bestselling author with my first novel GARDEN OF LIES. To date I have published 19 novels and a cookbook. Every life experience I've weathered has found its way into my novels in one form or another: bad exes, births, deaths, divorces, romances, and even true crime. My heroines are like me: tough cookies who don't crumble.

My latest novel, Book One of my Gold Creek series, ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW, is the story of a woman fleeing her abusive ex who finds refuge in a small California mountain town, where she's befriended by a group of women who call themselves The Tattooed Ladies and reinvents herself as a police sketch artist. Kyra "draws lines to stop crimes," as they say in the biz, never imagining she'll one day be forced to confront the biggest criminal of all: her ex.

I'm married to former entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon and the mother of two grown children. We live in Sacramento, California, where we remodeled a 1940's house for which I was the on-site project manager. Fortunately, multi-tasking is my superpower, so I was able to write a book and supervise a home remodel at the same time. The latter is sure to find its way into a future book.
