I play roller derby for the Boston Derby Dames and work for a nonprofit. This is my first year attempting NaNoWriMo, so hopefully it goes well! I also run a roller derby blog called, appropriately, derbygirlblog.com

Synopsis: I Was A Teenage Pseudonym

Emma Arnett wrote a book. Well, Emelia Chase wrote a book, but really it was Emma Arnett. And no one can know that Emma is Emelia. Why? Because Autumnal Desires, the newest bodice ripper from Bliss Publications, is not really the kind of thing that Emma’s AP English teacher would appreciate. But now the book is starting to climb the bestseller list, and her friends are starting to read it. Before she knows it, Emma’s book is going down in flames, literally, as her mother teams with the librarians to wage a war on indecency and bans her own daughter’s book. Not that she knows her daughter wrote it. But a pseudonym can only stay a pseudonym for so long when the media is starting to pay attention. When your mother thinks your wildly popular book is smut, your teachers are banning and burning it left and right, and you can’t seem to ace chemistry, what in the hell is a girl supposed to do?
