On top of that, her science fair partner has a secret that could cost them not only the win, but their lives. . . Back of the book: "Richmond, VA has a dangerous secret. I played chess with the wrong vampire, and now she's out for my blood. Plus, the angel who Finder thinks saved us in the opening doesn't seem to be around to play the middle game at all. So, when my assigned science fair partner turns out to have secrets or her own that cold cost us not only our win, but our lives, and my father finds out that boy I'm dating is in college, and Steve's Apple Squirrel Girl comes down with a strange illness that interferes with her shapeshifting, everything becomes, as Finder would say "a righteous mess." " Welcome to the middle game. The middle game is where the layers are. The middle game is what gets you killed.
Autorenporträt
J.S.(Jen Selby) Furlong is an author, producer and actor. Raised in the Washington DC professional theatre, Jen spent her teenage years inhabiting other people's lives on stage and making them real. Her first published book was a LARP guide to playing truly evil bad guys: Antagonists for Mind's Eye Theatre, the LARP for Vampire: The Masquerade from White Wolf Publishing. Written under her maiden name, Jennifer Albright, this book was a natural integration of both writing and acting. The largest portion of her writing began when she took a hiatus from acting to have children. A college professor once read a story she wrote and wrote on her paper "Not bad. You should publish this." Those words stuck with her. Hidden City was first drafted in 2004 just before the birth of her second son as an effort to write something her children could eventually read. Jen's teenaged heroines struggle with truth, possibility and who they are. Now mother to four of them, Jen loves teenagers and writes books that she hopes teens, tweens and adult lovers of YA will enjoy. A few random facts about Jen: 1. While writing this book initially she was also writing for and producing modern theatrical circuses, one of which she co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. 2. Jen's career in television and film includes a tiny but pivotal role on Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. 3. Jen is a graduate of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and attended both Ithaca College and The University of Mary Washington. One of her goals is to speak as many languages as she needs to run circuses and buy goats around the world. She lives in Virginia with her animals, her adorable husband and whomever else happens to be home. Follow Jen on IG at @iamjenfurlong. Hidden City is her debut novel.
