I t...Yolanda, thank you for those recommendations! I think for some childhood is a safe and happy place, and reading YA takes us back. We've all been there, and we can all identify with it. Good luck with your piece! Definitely don't give up.<br /><br />J.A., I do, too! Such a wonderful time of transition.<br /><br />Marcy, did you get out?<br /><br />D.G., you raised great points. I did take note of your question on why women enjoy YA more, but our panel ended up taking a different sort of turn, as everyone in the audience were writers and just wanted to know how to get published, basically. It is definitely interesting that women are the prevalent audience (over men). I would like to look into that.<br /><br />Alex, no problem! Since then the foothills have become speckled with gold from down here in the city. So gorgeous!<br /><br />Andrew, I am, aren't I?!<br /><br />Jamie, yay! Good luck to you! I thought of you when I came across it.<br /><br />Misha, haha, wonderful! Green is always good.<br /><br />Becca, I could see that. I love the transition seasons, and would miss them so.<br /><br />Mary, I remember the woods up there! I do miss the Oregon mountains.<br /><br />Medeia, thanks! I was amazed by the color up there. We were about a week early for the full splendor, but it's hard to time.<br /><br />Dani, no problem! And thanks!<br /><br />Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-64899590965821745682012-10-02T04:54:27.407-06:002012-10-02T04:54:27.407-06:00Oh my, I'm a photo bandit!

I've tried, but unless there's a science or mystery edge, it's too much high school angst for my liking. (one daughter raves about Hunger Games, but to me it's too much like Logan's Run. . .) <br /><br />Why do so many adults read them? To see what their kids are reading? (that's an assumption, of course) I'd love to hear some of your assessments of the panel after you've participated. It interests me why this genre appeals so much to predominantly women not in the YA age group? Are there men reading YA as well? Would they admit it?<br /><br />Just thought I'd post some different views, Shannon to give you some extra ideas for the panel. Good luck! <br />D.G.

I'll try to get pictures and post them too.<br /><br />I've read a few good YA books and have had the privilege of interviewing the authors.<br /><br />Scott Michael Kessman: Author of The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle and The Curse of Satyr Stump. It's all about the Fey.<br /><br />I also love mysteries and Aaron Paul Lazar author of The Gus Legarde Series is an excellent choice.<br /><br />I have a rough draft of my own coming of age tale, that may never see the light of day. But I'm not giving up yet. I wrote it in honor of my grandfather and grandmother They were my summer vacation and those adventures were extremely influential in my life.<br />I think adults love YA, because hey aren't we all just children at heart -- and who wouldn't want to be more adventurous at an age when fear didn't come so easy. My take.<br />Good luck at your Author Fest!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.com
