Never happens for me like that with human beings. whoa! Is that a cat? A cute little calico cat? Right on my block? I knelt down and called to her, and she came running up. I was sitting alone outside on the front stoop it was a quiet morning, not a creature was stirring. My favorite story about Flaca was the day we met. It sounds as though a particular (purrticular) kitty prompted you to write An Unlikely Cat Lady: Feral Adventures in the Backyard Jungle. Read on to find out more about her cats, her fashionable past, and her writing style. Now she has a non-fiction book about the cats that have touched her life, plus another teen novel coming out this summer. It was followed up with 6X: Loud, Fast, & Out of Control.

The writing isn't spectacular, but the confessional aspect of seeing behind the scenes will draw readers in.Nina Malkin's first novel for teens, 6X: The Uncensored Confessions, was about a band riding the fame rollercoaster. Anyone looking for a quick, light read will savor this. There is minor drinking, drug use, and sex, but not nearly the level expected in the confessions of teen rock stars. Looks like more 6X books will have to answer that question.įor being 'uncensored' there isn't a whole lot of scandalous material here. Can they handle the sudden fame or will it break them? Even by the end of the book, the answer isn't clear, with Kendall, the singer, going missing at their listening party. There are long hours, hard work, egos to tend to, and duplicitous people at every turn. The band members make it clear that life as a rock star isn't all glamour. The book has no real plot, but doesn't particularly need one. Initially the ever-changing perspective feels confusing, but each character has a distinct enough voice to pull it off. They take turns narrating each chapter (or segment of the DVD, as we're to believe), catching their fans up to speed on how they came together, learned their craft, got their first record deal, and so forth.

The three girls and one boy are unofficially known as the body, the boss, the voice, and the boy. 6X is the creation of an entertainment lawyer who takes four unknowns and rockets them to stardom. Set up like a video diary, this tares the reader behind the scenes with 6X, a hot new pop/rock band breaking onto the scene. 6x: The Uncensored Confessions.'
