TEENS: Triple Threat Tour: Not one, not two, but three incredible Y/A authors all at once in conversation at our Goral Gables store.

YELENA BLACK holds an MFA in fiction from Columbia University. Dance of Shadows (Bloomsbury, $17.99) was inspired by her love of ballet. As a child, she studied dance and fell in love with the art form. Though she never pursued ballet professionally, choosing instead to study creative writing, her interest in performing—and in all things dark and spooky—have blended together in her paranormal debut, where she is able to do pirouettes vicariously through her characters

MEGAN MIRANDA was a scientist and high school teacher before writing Fracture, which came out of her fascination with scientific mysteries—especially those associated with the brain. Megan has a BS in biology from MIT and spent her post-college years either rocking a lab coat or reading books. In Hysteria (Bloomsbury, $17.99), another riveting tale of life and death, Miranda's masterful storytelling brings readers along for a ride to the edge of sanity and back again.

ROBIN BENWAY is the acclaimed author of Audrey, Wait! and The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June, both ALA Best Books for Young Adults. Benway's books have been published in 16 languages, won awards abroad, and been bestsellers in several countries. Formerly a bookseller and book publicist, she lives in Los Angeles with her extremely stubborn Shih Tzu, Hudson. In Also Known As (Bloomsbury, $16.99), Benway introduces Maggie, a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies.
