This is the second book of the Secrets of My Hollywood Life series by Jen Calonita. I promise to give book updates here, and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or my website. Ever wonder what it would be like if your parents got a job with someone like Taylpr Swift? My other middle grade series, VIP, follows super fan Mackenzie Lowell as she tours with her favorite band, Perfect Storm. I've been writing middle grade too and am having so much fun with my series Fairy Tale Reform School! The fourth book in this series about a school run by former villains is called Tricked and will be out March 2018. I have also written the stand-alone novels Sleepaway Girls, it's companion book, Summer State of Mind and the Belles series. My first series was 'Secrets of My Hollywood Life' and it followed a teen star named Kaitlin Burke who struggled with the fame game. I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age).

I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am! I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice). Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled).

I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my 'three wishes' for a genie down on paper. When she isn’t writing, she can be found traveling or dreaming about visiting Disney Parks.I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!). Jen can be found in New York with her husband, two boys and a feisty chihuahua named Ben Kenobi. Her writing also has appeared in Glamour, Marie Claire, Self, TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly. A Twisted Tale’s Mirror Mirror was the winner of the 2020 Teen Choice Book Awards, the only national book awards program where winners are selected by children and teens. She went on to write several series including the best-selling Fairy Tale Reform School and books in Disney’s New York Times best-selling A Twisted Tale series. Jen went on to write six books in the best-selling series.

It was this job that inspired her first book, Secrets of My Hollywood Life, which was the winner of the Louisiana Young Readers Award. Her books have sold more than a million copies and have been translated into 15 languages.Ī graduate of Boston College, Jen began her career as an entertainment journalist at Teen People magazine where she interviewed everyone from Dwayne Johnson to Reese Witherspoon. Jen Calonita is the New York Times and USA Today-bestselling author of more than thirty books for teens and middle grade.
