If you try to bring 'teen drama,' you end up doing nothing but pouting.

Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!

I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan, where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends.
