…Let me introduce you to a glimmer of hope for the future of books. Her name is Kieryn Nicolas and she is a fourteen-year-old girl heading into high school.  Her first novel, RAIN, is schedule to be published in 2010.

This is a young girl who has been writing for as long as she can remember. She loves it, she embraces it, and she’s damn good at it! I met this young lady and her family not too long ago and I was absolutely astounded by her personality and her ambition. She is clever, she is vivacious, and yet a little shy. But best of all, she is determined to succeed. She loves books and she loves words….
