Librarian Karen Jensen and YA authors Carrie Mesrobian, Trish Doller, and Christa Desir have recently done some incredible work to put together a huge assortment of online resources, as well as a virtual program that is focused on discussing issues of sexual violence in YA literature. I’m really excited to be a part of the next online discussion that will take place via google hangout on Wednesday, March 26 at noon (EST). Carrie Mesrobian will be moderating, and the panel will include myself, Rachele Alpine, and Brendan Kiely.

Rachele is the author of CANARY:

Brendan is the author of THE GOSPEL OF WINTER.

Both books are excellent, powerful reads, and I highly recommend them. You can watch the panel live on March 26 (I’ll update this post with the URL closer to the date), and it will also be recorded and available to watch on Karen’s website. I hope you’ll check it out!
