Reddit reviews Kiss Me, I'm Iris: A Short Story

My newest short story is free on Kindle today (and indeed through Monday) — Kiss Me, I'm Iris

It's a YA romantic comedy about fitting in, standing out and everything in between. (With a St. Patrick's Day twist, of course.) From an author who's been praised by Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, The New Republic, GQ, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Back Stage, Broadway World, E!, Maxim, IGN, Film Threat and more.

A confession.

I love high school stories. I pride myself on writing in a lot of different genres and media, but really, if I had to pick one, I could probably settle down in high school and just rehash my awkward years ad nauseum.

I like stories about young people. I like the way their brains spin at furious rates, I like how they take everything so seriously or not seriously at all, I like how they're all cooped up in one institution and have to just live with each other for hours and years on end.

I've written teenage girls before—but usually for movies, and usually for movies that didn't get made. So in a strange way this is the first time most people have seen the result of my strange little tours around their heads.

Anyway, this is a fun one, a cute one, about a girl who, bless her angry little heart, just won't wear green on St. Patrick's Day. OR WILL SHE?! (More goes on than that, obviously, just, this is the hook.)

Anyhoo here's a bigger look at my cover should it amuse you: http://i.imgur.com/CV4Ao.jpg

So get downloadin', Kindle folks! And if you dig it, leave a review or whatever one does in these situations.
