Lies I Told Blog Tour! 10 Random Facts about Michelle Zink!!


Today I'm thrilled to be a part of the blog tour for Lies I Told by Michelle Zink!  Michelle was one of the first authors I read that really got me hooked on YA, and I've been a fan ever since! Read on to find out more about her latest book, learn 10 fun facts about her, and enter to win an awesome Lies I Told Prize Pack!



What if, after spending a lifetime deceiving everyone around you, you discovered the biggest lies were the ones you've told yourself?

Grace Fontaine has everything: beauty, money, confidence, and the perfect family.

But it’s all a lie.

Grace has been adopted into a family of thieves who con affluent people out of money, jewelry, art, and anything else of value. Grace has never had any difficulty pulling off a job, but when things start to go wrong on the Fontaines' biggest heist yet, Grace finds herself breaking more and more of the rules designed to keep her from getting caught...including the most important one of all: never fall for your mark.

Perfect for fans of Ally Carter, Cecily von Ziegesar, and Gail Carriger, this thrilling, high-stakes novel deftly explores the roles of identity and loyalty while offering a window into the world of the rich and fabulous.


COMING APRIL 7TH from HARPERTEEN!


Michelle Zink: 10 fabulous facts!

  1. I was born in Northern California and spent most of my adolescence in Southern California.
  2. I’ve lived in eight different states, and until the house I live in now, had never lived in one place longer than three years.
  3. I’m secretly addicted to a game/app called Covet.
  4. The fact that this is a fashion game and I spend 80% of my time working in pajamas is an irony not lost on me.
  5. Cats.
  6. I cry easily in movies (and even commercials) but will fight valiantly to make sure no one sees me doing it.
  7. I’m a bit of a foodie, but I rarely measure anything. This results in recipes with instructions like, “Then you just throw some balsamic in there…”
  8. I’m not a great everyday friend. I forget birthdays and generally just drop off the earth for long periods of time. But if you need me, I’m there.
  9. Prophecy of the Sisters, my first published book, was my fifth complete project (aka Keep Writing).
  10. I’m a huge movie junkie and see at least one movie every Friday with my teenagers. Whoever is with us gets to hear our post-movie analysis. Whether they want to or not. ;)
