About Love & Profanity: A Collection Of
Product Description Love & Profanity features more than forty brief, brilliant, and unforgettable true stories from writers both renowned and on the rise. Discover strange and surprising scenes of people coming of age amidst the everyday intensity of teenage life. Witness transformative moments arising from the mundane. Behold the young adult in full splendor and horror, bursting with love and profanity. About the Author Adam Rex “Three Stories About Water and Vomiting” Adam Rex lives in Tucson. He’s the author and/or illustrator of a lot of things, including The True Meaning of Smekday, which is being adapted by DreamWorks into the film Home. He didn’t write his YA novel, Fat Vampire, to cash in on the vampire craze; and that’s fine, because it didn’t. Heather Sellers “Breathless” Heather Sellers is a professor of English. Her books include the memoir You Don’t Look Like Anyone I Know, the short story collection Georgia Under Water, a children’s book Spike and Cubby’s Ice Cream Island Adventure, three volumes of poetry, and three books on the craft of writing. She loves to ride her Bianchi bicycle, preferably in the rain. Heather was born and raised in Florida. Joey Franklin “Girl Fight” Joey Franklin survived his fight with Marty Manzoni and is still friends with both Marty and Amy, though he's changed their names here just in case they remember the story differently. He teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University and is raising three boys that he hopes will be nicer sixth graders than he was. Jon Scieszka “Power Drift” Jon Scieszka was born in Flint, Michigan. The second oldest, and nicest, of six boys. No girls. Author of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs!, The Stinky Cheeseman, Knucklehead, and a mess of others. New series in the works with Abrams about Frank Einstein, kid science genius. With robots. And a chimpanzee. Ali Catt “Polypropylene” Alicia Catt grew up in Wisconsin. In high school she terrorized her mother, rode a skateboard, flunked creative writing, and got suspended for wearing a bra on the outside of her shirt. (Don't ask.) She now lives in Minneapolis with her adopted pit bull, Piggy. Carrie Mesrobian “Why Is It Wet Here?” Carrie Mesrobian is the author of Sex & Violence and Perfectly Good White Boy. She and her older sister were raised in Mankato, Minnesota, by very nice people who didn't deserve such misbehavior from their children. To this day she is still known as “the bad daughter.” Melissa Brandt “M-E-L I-S-S-A” Melissa Brandt is an educator and a screenwriter with a script called Chicken Day that is moving ever closer to being realized on the screen. She lives in Rochester, Minnesota, and loves to travel, read, and secretly record the conversations of her teenage daughter and son. She later uses these conversations in her stories. Seriously, she’s not to be trusted. Clint Edwards “I Don’t Believe You” Clint Edwards hasn’t crapped his pants since freshman year, but tomorrow is another day. You can read more about Clint at No Idea What I’m Doing: A Daddy Blog. It’s been featured on Good Morning America, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. But that’s not the real reason to read it. The real reason is that it will give you a glimpse into the steamy world of adult married life with children, and because he sometimes writes about farts. Pete Hautman “Vietnam, Minnesota” Pete Hautman lives in Minnesota, where he writes whatever he feels like writing, from time travel adventures like The Obsidian Blade to vampire-free romances such as The Big Crunch. His latest book is Eden West, a love story about a teen who grows up in an apocalyptic cult in Montana. His next book will include talking dogs, nanobots, and sasquatches. Kasandra Duthie “Island Girls” Kasandra Duthie lives in Minneapolis, but she grew up on small islands in Washington State. She lives with her pat
