Dear Reader: In the age-old debate between destiny and personal freedom, I've always been a free will girl. But the writing of GLOW has a whiff of predetermination about it. If I didn't come from a religious background, if I hadn't studied anthropology, if I hadn't taken a class about the early Puritan settlers, if I hadn't moved to New York and witnessed the attacks of 9/11, if if if... GLOW could never have come into being. Writing GLOW felt like a dangerous journey, and I wish the same for its readers. Even more, I hope to hear from you through my website. If, when you write, you make me think the same way I hope GLOW will make you think, your words may show up in my blog! Let the debate between free will and destiny rage on! Enter to win one of 10 copies of GLOW. Email Sarah.Goldstein@stmartins.com by September 17th. Until then, Amy Kathleen Ryan www.AmyKathleenRyan.com "Ryan has created a fascinating and thrilling story that is sure to captivate teens... This gripping first installment is difficult to put down, and successfully sets the stage for the rest of the series." —School Library Journal (starred review) "Utterly engrossing. Dinner went uncooked, children were left to fend for themselves, and dog howled all night, because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN." —Lauren Myracle, bestselling author of ttyl and Shine "GLOW has an ingenious, twisty, heart-stopping plot, and characters that are in turns both sympathetic and sinister all the way to the last page—I don't know who I can trust, and I love it!" —Lisa McMann, bestselling author of the Wake series, and Cryer's Cross
