Bio: Megan Frazer
Name: Megan Frazer
'09 Book Title: Secrets of Truth and Beauty
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Favorite Books: Hmm, like most other writers, I have trouble narrowing this down. Orlando by Virginia Woolf is definitely at the top of any list (the movie is also fabulous, by the way). And I studied Ancient and Medieval literature in college, so I have a thing for stuff like Beowulf and Sir Thomas Mallory. Lately, though, it's been all YA all the time, it seems. My favorite book I've read this past year was The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks by E. Lockhart. I'd also give five stars to John Green's books, and Sara Zarr's Story of a Girl.
Favorite Bit of Writing Advice: There are a lot of great writers out there. There are also a lot of lazy writers out there. The biggest part of "making it" is just sitting down and writing.
Random Info About Me: Before I moved to Maine, I took weekly flying trapeze lessons. Oh, if only someone would build a flying trapeze school in Maine.
Secrets of Truth and Beauty Synopsis: The story of a former child beauty pageant winner turned overweight teen, who struggles with family secrets and her own sense of self over the course of a transformative summer with her estranged older sister.
