In Disrupted Sandee Mason loves stage-managing, which gives her the importance she’s craved since her brother died in Afghanistan 6 months earlier. When a 7.1 earthquake erupts, and two of the school’s wings slide off their foundations, classes and activities are canceled. Sandee must cope with the emotional earthquake that erupted when her brother was killed in Afghanistan and the physical earthquake that ransacked her town. Will the fall play she’s stage-managing go up even though the campus is closed, her best friend moves away, and a new boy breaks more promises than he keeps?
Targeted Age Group:: 12 and up
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
While none of these characters are based on my high school or college students, I'm aware of the issues teens and young adults face and the ways they are misunderstood. After I wrote TALENT many people asked what happened next, so this is a follow up story or sequel.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I've taught classes of 38 students who met for 50 minutes a day and craved more attention than I could give them. Sandee needs to be noticed. Diego needs confidence. Pete, on the other hand, has plenty of confidence but he's been known to–oops! That would be a spoiler. Jenn is noticed far more than Sandee, but she can't see it. There are more characters, including some adults, and they all came from my observations of people I've worked with, observed, or read about. Did I model anyone on myself? If you know me or have followed www.writeradvice.com, read the book and let me know what you think.
