Melissa Wyatt A native of York, Pennsylvania, Melissa Wyatt leads a double life as a mild-mannered mother of two with a husband, a mortgage and a dog, but has a secret other life as a glamorous and exciting young adult novelist! No, really. And she's prepared to share all the perks of a writer's life (you can go to work in your jammies) along with her writing process (eat a bag of Milanos, write a few words, repeat) to grades 6-12 or anyone else who might be interested. GENRE YA contemporary realistic fiction PUBLICATIONS RAISING THE GRIFFIN, Random House/Wendy Lamb Books, January, 2004. Sixteen-year-old Alex Varenhoff finds out what it's like to be a prince when his family is restored to the throne of the tiny, formerly communist country of Rovenia. Alex is thrust into a life he was never raised for. He hates the pomp and circumstance and the hordes of screaming girls that wait everywhere. And this new life is dangerous, for there are Rovenians who oppose the monarchy. Becoming a true prince presents Alex with a heartbreaking challenge far beyond anything he ever expected, one of the greatest challenges that any Varenhoff has ever had to face. CONTACT THE
