I would be happy to send an ARC copy for your review, and I've provided Putnam's synopsis of the book below. New girl Raye Archer is desperate for a way into the In crowd, so when ice-queen Ella Parker chooses her to get back at her ex, the gorgeous Julian Kilgarry, Raye is more than game. Even if it means creating a fake Facebook identity as “Elizabeth” so that she can learn enough about Julian to sabotage him. While a fun and dangerous thrill at first, what Raye hadn’t counted on was falling for Julian herself—and igniting Ella’s rage. As Raye works to reconcile the temptress Elizabeth with her real-life self, Ella serves up her own revenge. Now it’s Raye who falls victim, as Ella creates an online smear campaign of nasty rumors and trashy photographs. Suddenly notorious, Raye has to find a way out of the web of deceit that she’s helped to build, and back to the relationships that matter. Adele Griffin’s riveting novel explores the issues of generation Facebook: the desire to be someone else, real versus online friends, and the pitfalls and fallouts of posting your personal life online for all the world to judge.

I would love to send you a copy of my book "a life revealed." It came out in September and has just become available in Barnes & Noble Stores as well as B&N.com and Amazon. Waiting to hear from Books-A-Million. A short synopsis is: Tragedy can strike in a split second. But what if that tragedy brings with it both heartache and mystery? After her parents are killed, seventeen year old Chloe Jacobs discovers that she's been part of the Witness Security Program her entire life. While enduring 24 hour protection from U.S. Marshals, Chloe secretly searches through her tangled family history...and realizes that in order to find the truth she'll have to fight for her safety, dreams, love...and ultimately her life. I am currently working on the sequel to this book. If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach me anytime via email or at 407-284-7781. Sincerely, Suzi Katz... Dear Jenn,
