In real life, I have a small cast of characters who are
super important to me as well. My best friend, Tee, is like my sister in crime.
We've known each other almost as long as we can remember, and I can't remember
a time when I didn't love her. She's an incredibly important part of me, of who
I am. Mari doesn't have a Tee in the book. I wanted her to, but I felt like it
was truer to Mari's experiences if she didn't. So she has her mom. When I was
writing Jewel Thief, I pictured Mari and her mother a little bit like the
Gilmore Girls. But since this is Mari's story (not Mari and her mother's) we
don't see a lot of that in the actual book. It's there though, that deep love
and trust between mother and daughter. I guess Mari's mother is kind of her
Tee.
And my SO is a lot like Will, strong and quiet and sweet.
Respectful and kind, and just a little bit oblivious at times. I definitely
based Will on my guy. Every girl should have a partner who respects them and
cares about them and wants to protect them—even when they're perfectly capable
of protecting themselves. You can be a total kick-ass chick and completely
capable of taking care of yourself. But your partner should want to take care
of you too. Just because you can kick butt, doesn't mean it isn't nice to have
butt kicked on your behalf. 😊
Diary of a Teenage Jewel Thief
Diary of a Teenage Jewel Thief
Most sixteen-year-olds shouldn’t know where museums keep their rarest
jewels (the basement) and they really shouldn’t know that vans make the worst
getaway cars. But for Marisol Flores, a life of jewel thievery is a birthright
handed down from generation to generation, even if she didn’t ask for it. So
when a rival thief targets Mari and her mother, Mari’s more than happy to flee
to the anonymity of bustling New York City.
Blending in is a dream come true for Mari, but keeping her former
thieving ways a secret gets way more complicated when handsome Will Campbell
sets his sights on her. She can’t help but like his terrible puns and charming
grin…but when her past catches up with her, it’s not only her life—and her
anonymity—that’s at stake.
Will could be the next target.
