When Suzie sees (or thinks she sees) the real Jo.Zee, she must decide if she will trust him...or her instincts.* SINS07 is a series featuring lighthearted tales that explore each of the seven sins in order, beginning with lust.GENRE: YA Fiction / Humor / Contemporary Fiction / 65,000 words.PRAISE and REVIEWS:"Loved the playful voice, and going through Suzie Q's journey. Laced with humor, it tickled me throughout. A fun, satisfying read--liked the twist at the end! Keep the series coming."-- Jason Ancona, author of C.Y.A"The voice is very relatable...I was hooked, and Chester won [my] affections!"-- Vanessa Di Gregorio, former intern @ The Rights Factory"[The dance portions were] so vividly described that it was as good as watching a movie."-- Review @ My Love Affair With Books, August 2010"[1: The Intern] turned out to be one of the best books I've ever read. The Intern gets 2 thumbs up from me. And thank you very much for writing it."-- Kimberly S., via email, September 2010"I'm glad the author's going the light-hearted route with this. We need more comedy in YA."-- Jennifer Hoffine, blog tour comment, September 2010EXCERPT:He starts demonstrating a move called the hip pump. I never knew a guy could be that flexible, and look this droolicious at the same time too. You just sway your hips back and forth in this move--but the way Jo.Zee does it makes me wish I were alone with him here so that we'd have the whole studio to ourselves. Failing that option, we could make full use of my hotel room, which isn't exactly a gazillion galaxies away...ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Jess's literary work has appeared in a diverse range of publications, such as Word Riot, ITCH Magazine, and The Battered Suitcase.
