Many thanks to Eliza Cross for the thoughtful interview.
"You’ve published fiction, nonfiction, books, essays, short stories, poetry and more," Eliza asks. "Somehow you’ve managed to cross all of these genres while still maintaining a very distinctive “brand.” Was that a conscious marketing decision or a natural evolution of who you are and what you like to write? Or both?"
Please RSVP (Attendees Only): mdoallas[at]aol.com by October 1.

Hi! I hope you can note that my debut young adult novel, LIE, is being published on August 30th from St. Martin's Press. It has already received two starred reviews -- from Kirkus Reviews -- who called it, "Unusual and Important," and from Publishers Weekly, who noted,
"Avoiding preachiness, Bock handles the novel's multiple viewpoints exceptionally well, rotating among the painfully believable voices of high school students and adults. Her characters may keep the truth inside, but their story reads like a confessional." On Friday, September 16th at 7 pm, I have having a book reading/launch party at BOOK REVUE in Huntington, New York and I hope all she writes members in the area will stop by!
My second novel "Tattoo" has been in stores for one week today! Happy anniversary, baby! It's already getting some nice press, too. Check out my interview on the Omnivoracious book blog.
