Free-for-All Friday: Hero(ine) EditionPosted by Shoshana Brown Nov 5 2010, 12:01 am in Free-For-All Friday, heroes, Shoshana Brown, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, Veronica Mars It’s that day again. The day where you get to ask the Ruby Sisters any random writing question that pops into your head. I’ll throw a question out to get things started.

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. Her novel STAGE FRIGHT is the winner of the 2009 Golden Heart (YA category) and she's a finalist in the 2011 Golden Heart. 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).
