Briana's Gift

Thirteen-year-old Casey's mother always said that Casey's sixteen-year-old sister marched to the beat of a different drummer. But it isn't until Briana runs away with an older boy that Casey begins to understand what her mother meant. When Briana returns home alone and pregnant, Casey and her mother try to help Briana come to terms with her options.

I’m glad you’re visiting my special web site at Random House because this is one good way for me to “talk” to you—first to say “Thank you” for your loyalty and support and second to tell you about the new books I’ve written for you.

My new three book mini-series, ANGELS IN PINK, is a huge undertaking for me because it follows three best friends, Kathleen, Raina and Holly, through almost three years of high school and their involvement in their local hospital teen volunteer program. I got the idea because many of you ask how you can help make a difference in the “real world.” Volunteering to help others when you’re a teen is one of the best ways I know. And if you have an interest in medicine, then hospitals may be a good place for you to offer to serve.

Let me tell you a little about ANGELS IN PINK. Each girl will have her own book, although their separate stories will be continued from book to book. Their stories are long and complex as they face difficulties in their own lives and in the lives of each other. KATHLEEN’S STORY will launch first and in it you’ll read about the friends’ home, dating and school lives, plus meet most of the large cast of characters.

Each book will end with a sneak peek at the next book—RAINA’S STORY and HOLLY’S STORY. Believe me, all of the girls will face difficult trials, much like the real teens you are and know. And each book will bear my signature story-telling device of ending with hope and inspiration despite the trials life throws at them. And there’ll be plenty of romance too (for those of you who like that stuff!)

Random House has given me a whole new cover look that I love. I’ve grown quite attached to these characters over the past year as I wrote their stories and I hope you will like them as much as I do. In fact, Random House is setting up an “Ask Lurlene” feature on my site so that readers can ask questions and I can answer the best ones selected by my publisher.

I look forward to your feedback about all my books, but especially the three newest ones. I must go now because it’s time to start writing another book. And then another one....and another....

Best Wishes,
