Tina and I have decided to close YAF’s doors in December 2013. Now here we are today with less YA Fresh readers to chat with and few entries for our giveaways. Hundreds of interviews and giveaways, and lots of fun chats with readers and bloggers. Why not start a YA blog to chat about YA books, giveaways, and just have fun with it?

A month later, I asked my awesome critique partner and good friend, Tina Ferraro, to join me as we celebrated the releases of our young adult novels. Amazingly, it’s been seven years since I launched YA Fresh in December 2006.
