Marni Mann’s Books Now in Young Adult Editions Fellow Florida writer, friend, and all-around great gal, Marni Mann made a big splash with her two novels about addiction: Memoirs Aren’t Fairytales and Scars from a Memoir. Marni’s publisher has now released Young Adult versions of the novels which retain the gritty reality of the books while downplaying some of the more “adult” situations the main character, Nicole, finds herself in. The link above will take you to Marni’s webs

There is still a little time…in case you missed it (or, you’ve been “meaning to” enter, but haven’t yet) I posted an interview on Friday with author Marni Mann. Anyone who leaves a comment (even just, “Hey, this is a comment, right?”) on that blog post will be eligible to win an eBook copy of her new novel, Scars from a Memoir. I’ll announce the winner tomorrow morning. Hope you are all having a great weekend. Happy writing! #mann #memoir #giveaway #book #scars #marni
