I went into the Army not long after high school (since color TV but before the internet. In middle school and high school, I was always on the newspaper staff, ending up in my senior year as the co-editor of our bi-weekly paper and student literary magazine. In elementary school, I was drawing fake newspaper stories and layouts on large sheets of paper, complete with a comics section. Writing is evidently imprinted in my DNA. I'm the oldest of seven-six boys and a girl-none of whom are writers but me.

He was also a student for a time at the Mountainview MFA program. Navy Reserve chief petty officer as well as a former military police investigator.

Rounded characters large and small, drawn with insight and empathy, drive the plot.īuoyant writing and wry humor balance the pathos in this powerful debut, a moving tale of friendship as refuge and shield against a hostile world Constrained by his teacher role, Peter-the adult best-equipped to offer support-can do little as stresses mount. Well-intentioned but unfit to parent a gay teen, she threatens to send him to a group home. Terrified to return to school, he lies about where he spends his days to his foster mother. Orphaned, openly gay Sebby has endured multiple foster placements. Their high expectations weigh heavily on Mira. Mira’s the biracial daughter of a workaholic black lawyer and white stay-at-home mom her high-achieving sister’s at Harvard. Jeremy’s the child of supportive, emotionally mature dads.

They are the big bad and clearly are not going to leave the Cullens alone. The Volturi obviously have to be dealt with. Here are Stephenie Meyer’s comments on what’s next for the coven: The miscommunication is cleared up at the end of the series, but Breaking Dawn does leave it open-ended since the Cullens believe the Volturi will seek vengeance for the humiliation they caused them. Bella and Edward got on their bad side in Breaking Dawn when they were under the impression Renesmee was an immortal child (a kid who is turned into a vampire), when Bella did in fact give birth to her.
