Perfect by ellen hopkins5/27/2023 Will I ever write one in prose? No doubt! But, for the moment, writing novels in verse fulfills two needs: writing poetry and writing fiction. I also continued to freelance articles for newspapers and magazines.Īll that has changed, with the publication of my novel, CRANK, which has led to a valued career writing YA novels in verse, all of which explore the more difficult situations young adults often find themselves in. The rest are viewable on my personal website. When we moved down the mountain to the Reno area, I started writing nonfiction books, many of which you can see here. At that time, I went to work for a small alternative press, writing stories and eventually editing. After a divorce, I met my current husband and we moved to Tahoe to become ski bums and otherwise try to find our dreams. I studied journalism in college, but left school to marry, raise kids and start my own business-a video store, before the mega-chains were out there. After my adopted parents died, I did find my birth mother, who lives in Michigan with my half sister. I grew up in Palm Springs CA, although we summered in Napa and Lake Tahoe, to avoid those 120 degree summers. Her second adult novel, Collateral, came out in the fall of 2012. Hopkins felt they needed their own story after the release of Triangles. Tilt, was released September 11, 2012, and is a companion from the point of view of the teens mentioned in Triangles. I was adopted at birth and raised by a great, loving older couple. Perfect was released on September 13, 2011, and is a companion novel to Impulse.
