It’s All About the StoryPosted by Shoshana Brown Apr 4 2012, 12:01 am in Disneyland, research, Shoshana Brown Though I’ve lived in California all my life, up until February, I hadn’t been to Disneyland in seventeen years. Seventeen years without Space Mountain. Without Pirates of the Caribbean. Without those strangely delicious corn dogs. So when my husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I had my answer ready. Never Stop GrowingPosted by Shoshana Brown Jan 27 2012, 12:00 am in growth, Shoshana Brown, writing craft If you’re a parent, you’re probably familiar with growth charts. You know–those graphs that show how your child’s height or weight or head circumference compares to the averages based on her age. After staring at way too many of these graphs, something occurred to me. My development as a writer wasn’t too different from the [...] Scary BeginningsPosted by Shoshana Brown Sep 28 2011, 12:01 am in Beginnings, Shoshana Brown, writing fears I’ve just finished one last pass of revisions on my latest manuscript, and you know what that means.

Shoshana Brown wrote a little bit of everything, including romantic comedy, romantic suspense, and part of a cookbook, before finding her way to young adult romance.

If she’s not writing or toiling away at her day job, where she attempts to make Important Scientific Discoveries but usually just ends up yelling at her computer, she can be found in the kitchen baking something (for research purposes, of course).
