All YA Love: Guestpost by Author Lauren Hammond

We are really happy to have debut author Lauren Hammond here today. Her first novel Love Sucks was released on August 3rd and she is here today to talk about choices and opportunities. Please give her a warm welcome.

She saw simply that she was different, haunted, with her snow white hair, pearlescent skin and uncanny gift. This arched …
