Brain to Books Cyber Convention (FAIRGROUNDS) discussion

Have you heard of Bridget Zinn? You probably haven't. And there's a reason why...



Bridget Zinn's first YA novel, Poison, was released by Hyperion on March 12, 2013. Unfortunately, Bridget died from cancer in May 2011 at the age of 33. Being published was Bridget's dream. Now, nearly four years to the day from her diagnosis, her novel is at last reaching readers. On her behalf, her friends and family want to celebrate her accomplishment and help get her book into the hands of readers.



Poison's first review just came in, a near-rave from Kirkus Reviews, who write, "Don't let the title or cover fool you! No grimdark teen fantasy or angst-y heroines here; just a frothy confection of a fairy tale featuring poisoners, princesses, perfumers and pigs, none of whom are exactly what they appear (except maybe the pigs)…. Good silly fun—a refreshing antidote to a genre overflowing with grit and gloom." We're sure this is the first of many happy reviews to come for Bridget's debut.

Since Bridget isn't here to share her novel, people are pulling together to help get the word out about this former librarian's sweet, hilarious debut.

2016 marks the 5 year anniversary of Bridget's death and the 3 year anniversary of Poison.

This absolutely broke my heart! But I am glad that I came upon this booth. I am a book blogger and the owner of "Peachy Keen Book Reviews". I would love to review Poison on my blog.
