There are too many sensationalist news stories buzzing around, leading people to believe it's some kind of YA erotica. That's simply not the case. *Sigh*Carrie Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540590799406170410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-92117028934339814252013-03-15T15:26:09.988-04:002013-03-15T15:26:09.988-04:00Thanks, Captain!

I wonder if the Jackets were watching??? Hmm. <br /><br />Great interview. I can visualize you and your bow trekking through the bush like she did in Hunger Games. Killing poor little squirrels, who never done no any harm... Sorry, wrong movie. That was Jennifer in Winter's Bones. <br /><br />Okay, got away from myself just then. Kudos for touring and letting us all know a little bit more about yourself, Miss Carrie. Hope you sell so many books they compare you to Joe Konrath. <br /><br />Howdy, Jeff!

They jokingly say that 30 is the new 20. Young people are taking their time to grow up now and enter society fully as adults with all the baggage and responsibilities that come with that. Literature should reflect that.<br /><br />I confess that I'm a bit concerned that NA is getting a reputation for being an excuse for being a lot more graphic. It can leave for poor writers who don't go in for that much detail left wondering if the NA label is one that fits them.Donna K.
