When Greenwood High's principal announces that their school has received funding for a student-run cable TV show, junior Sharon Delaney is thrilled. Jeff Russell, the hip new English teacher and their show advisor, says they can discuss any subject they feel is important...everything from the environment to personal relationships. It's the chance of a lifetime! But Sharon's ideas for debating the issue of dating in the 1990s causes an uproar in the school and in her own budding romance with fellow classmate and cast member Tyler Ratcliff. Tensions build and finally explode in an on-the-air first show Sharon—and Greenwood High—will never forget!
Author
I was born in New Britain, Connecticut, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I also spent a year (5th grade) in Montgomery, Alabama, and a year in Ann Arbor, Michigan(8th grade). As a child, I always wanted to be a writer, but I had lots of other ambitions too. I wanted to be a teacher, a librarian, a movie star, the president of the United States, and a ballerina. I didn't achieve all my goals. I never became a movie star, the president of the U.S., or a ballerina. But I've been a teacher and a librarian and most of all, a writer. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always kept a diary. I wrote poems, stories, plays, songs and lots of letters. Writing wasn't easy for me, but it felt natural and right. I've always read a lot, too. I was an English major at Emory University (I love Shakespeare), and I also received a master's degree in library science at Emory. I earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago, and I taught children's and teen literature at St. John's University in New York for over 20 years. Now, I'm a full-time writer, living in Paris, France - the most beautiful city in the world.
