I have always agreed with Dagny and Hank's way of thinking, but I rarely say that out loud in front of my liberal friends and co-workers. AS gave me the courage to realize that it's okay to have these opinions. Just because the majority of people think one way doesn't mean that I'm wrong. I may be in the minority, but I don't have to conform just because others are blinded by politicians and political dogma.

Absolutely! My novel is about Tess, a Russian scholarship student who wants to experience a normal American teenage romance with a hot basketball player but can’t because her crush’s relationship with her gay best friend leads to violence between the Russians and the basketball team. Inspired by THE OUTSIDERS, FORGIVENESS shows how hatred leads to violence which then leads to death. You can learn about my projects by signing up for my monthly newsletter at www.janellefila.com

Thanks so much for the interest!

Hi Janelle,

There are number of us authors in here. My wife and I write thrillers. Our first novel is Pendulum of Justice.

I see you write in the YA space. Can you tell us more?

Hi Janelle. Welcome to the Gulch.

Welcome, Janelle. You only have to wait until right before christmas to see AS3, which is way better than "maybe, sometime". In the meantime, enjoy yourself here.

If I may ask, what did you love the most about AS?
