Produktbeschreibung

Teenage chess champion Stacy Goldman only believes in what she can prove. When her family flees NYC in the wake of 9/11, Stacy lands in Richmond VA, a city with a secret supernatural subculture that draws her into a world of threats, challenges and monsters - everything Stacy is sure doesn't exist . . .

¿Let me be clear, I am NOT a vampire hunter.

I do not have fighter skills, I am not the Chosen One. I am Stacy Goldman, a self proclaimed math nerd from Battery Park City, NY with a formidable GPA, a 2200 rated chess game (yes, that's good) and no belief, NONE in the unreal, occult spiritual blah de blah. I do have a weakness for coffee and the cute Goth boys that follow my best friend like rats follow a trash truck.

So when the airplanes hit the Towers and my father made the incomprehensible decision to abandon the City for a "safer home" in Richmond VA, I became the new girl in an über hard catholic School (what?? I'm Jewish!) and my sensible seeming new friends turned out to be . . . well, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Inside these pages is what happened.

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.
