Author Event with Jen Malone, Jennifer Mann, Dana Alison Levy

Jen Malone, Jen Mann, and Dana Alison Levy will spend time at Bestsellers Cafe for Indies First day, which is also Small Business Saturday. Come on down and support your local independent bookstore!

Jen Malone writes books for tweens and teens. Her first novel “At Your Service”, was published in August, 2014 and she is gearing up for the launch of a new co-written middle grade series, RSVP in 2015. Her debut young adult novel “Me, Him & The Paparazzi” will be published next summer. Jen lives north of Boston with her husband, her identical twin sons and their little sister, teaches at Boston University, and has a slight obsession with hedgehogs.

Jennifer Ann Mann lives in Brookline with a houseful of friends and family and writes funny chapter books for kindergarten through 3rd graders. “Sunny Sweet is So Not Sweet” was published in 2013 and its sequel “Sunny Sweet Is So Dead Meat” was published this year.

Dana Alison Levy was raised by pirates but escaped at a young age and went on to earn a degree in aeronautics and puppetry. Actually, that’s not true—she just likes to make things up. That’s why she always wanted to write books. She was born and raised in New England and studied English literature before going to graduate school for business. While there is value in all learning, had she known she would end up writing for a living, she might not have struggled through all those statistics and finance classes. “The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher” is her first published novel, but she has a trunk full of other attempts, which vary in degrees of awfulness.

The authors will be ready to meet you in the store at 10:00 a.m. Their panel discussion, themed “Bringing the Funny” will start at 11:00.
