Today's Guest: Lisa McMann, YA novelist, Wake, Fade, Gone, The Unwanteds Order 'The Wake Trilogy: Wake; Fade; Gone' by Lisa McMann from Amazon.com by clicking the books above! This is gonna take a minute. It was the last day of our first family vacation in two years and the three of us were unwinding in the enormous Barnes & Noble bookstore in Burlington, Vermont. My 13-year-old son Charlie found two young adult novels she wanted to buy, both of which his friends had already read and enjoyed. The first was The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, which looked like it was cast in the mode of the Harry Potter books, a series that Charlie has read over and over and over. The second was a dark and somewhat frightening looking book titled Wake by Lisa McMann. It’s subtitle: “Your dreams are not your own.” I was dubious; my kid finds the sight of blood unsettling and isn’t a fan of violence or gore. But it was technically age-appropriate and it meant reading something other than texts on his phone, so okay. LISA McMANN audio excerpt: "When I finished writing Wake, I almost immediately started writing Fade. I know that wasn't necessarily smart. But I felt like the story wasn't finished, so I wanted to write it for me. Then I thought, 'There could be more.'"    Mr. Media (Bob Andelman) and young adult author Lisa McMann at Inkwood Books in Tampa He loved both books and consumed them in the next two days. Back home, a few days later, he came over to my desk, holding Wake and asked, “What’s your agent’s name?” “Michael Bourret,” I said. With a triumphant look in his eye, he pushed Wake in front of me, open to the Acknowledgements page. I read it and smiled: “Warmest gratitude to my fantastic agent, Michael Bourret, who believed in Janie and me…” Small world. This week, Gone, the third and final book in the Wake trilogy, completing the adventures of teenage dream catcher Janie Hannagan, hits the shelves of bookstores everywhere. It’s quite a wild ride.

Praise for The Forgetting "An eerie mystery wrapped in a heart-wrenching romance, this breathless thriller will leave you wanting more from Maggi!" - Gretchen McNeil, author of TEN and the Don't Get Mad series “From the tender moments to the thrilling climax, this one will keep your heart racing.” - Natalie D. Richards, author of Six Months Later Nicole Maggi was born in the suburbs of upstate New York, and began writing poems about unicorns and rainbows at a very early age. She detoured into acting, earned a BFA from Emerson College, and moved to NYC where she performed in lots of off-off-off-Broadway Shakespeare. After a decade of schlepping groceries on the subway, she and her husband hightailed it to sunny Los Angeles, where they now reside, surrounded by fruit trees, with their daughter and two oddball cats.

Lisa McMann appears at the 2013 Library of Congress National Book Festival. Speaker Biography: Lisa McMann says that even though she thinks writing is "hard," she "wouldn't do anything else. There are a lot of disappointments and no guarantees. Be prepared to write a second or third or fifteenth novel if the first ones don't sell." McMann's books have sold, very well in fact. Her "Wake" trilogy is wildly popular. Her new novel is "Crash," the first book in her new "Visions" series.
