Teen/YA
Teen Fantasy
Teens in a support group should help them heal. Instead, each develops a psychic power. And, Devoted half sisters face a threat even greater than that of the evil queen, the threat of losing each other forever.
Lexa Hillyer
Lexa Hillyer is the founder and president of Publishing at Glasstown Entertainment, a creative development and production company located in New York and Los Angeles. She is also the author of “Spindle Fire,” “Winter Glass” and “Proof of Forever,” all young adult novels published by HarperCollins. Her poetry collection, “Acquainted with the Cold,” was the 2012 gold prize winner of the Foreword Book of the Year Award for Poetry and received the Melissa Lanitis Gregory Poetry Prize. Her work has been featured in a variety of journals and collections, including Best New Poets 2012, and she has received several honors for poetry. Lexa earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Vassar College and her Master’s of Fine Aarts in Poetry from Stonecoast at the University of Southern Maine. She worked as an editor at both HarperCollins and Penguin, before founding Glasstown Entertainment, along with New York Times best-selling author Lauren Oliver. She lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., with her husband and daughter and their very skinny orange tree.
Alyssa Schwartz
Alyssa Schwartz is a screenwriter and author. She has sold multiple television pilots to NBC, Fox, CW and ABC, and written films for major studios including Paramount, New Regency and MGM. Books have always been Alyssa’s first love, though, so she and her writing partner, Jessica Koosed Etting, recently expanded into young adult fiction, channeling their inner teen with the four-book “Georgetown Academy” series. Their new young adult thriller, “The Lost Causes,” was released in September 2017 and edited by Kate Egan (of The Hunger Games trilogy). Alyssa currently resides in Bethesda, Md.

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.
- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
