I guess I never really recovered from high school because I've spent most of my adult years stewing in teen angst. I'm a writer and young adult book specialist. In June 2002, Knopf/Random House will publish an anthology of stories that I edited -- ONE HOT SECOND: Stories of Desire. You'll find it filled with stories by award-winning authors about first love, first times, and all the delicious blushes in between. You can visit Favorite Teenage Angstbooks, too (www.grouchy.com/angst) -- my humble Web site that celebrates teen angst, personal discovery, and great books for teens (and adults who appreciate the wonder and weirdness of those awkward years ...maybe a more than a few of you fall into that category, too?). Life is pretty wild, yeah? I hope you've found creative ways to stay sane/insane (whichever you prefer, of course), and I wish you many moments of simple contentment.
