Author of the Month: December

Sara Shepard


     This month's author that everyone should check out is Sara Shepard. She is the author of the hit Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game series. These might sound familiar, as both are and were hit shows on ABC Family, (The Lying Game, starring Alexandra Chando, was recently cancelled after it's second season.)  However, Pretty Little Liars has become one of the most popular shows for the network. It's currently in it's fourth season and new episodes begin airing on January 7th. Recently, it's even been renewed for a fifth season, which should premiere in summer of 2014. While I know the show drifts and expands from it's source material, I would still recommend reading this series, especially before the new episodes start to air. The latest novel in the series is titled, Deadly, and was just released on December 3. This is the 14th book in the series, so it may be hard to catch up if you haven't read any of the novels yet. However, I wouldn't let that fact discourage you. I have heard they are extremely addicting, and that they are a fast read. Personally, I haven't had a chance to read the books yet, but I am looking forward to starting them. Additionally, I would also look into Shepard's other books. Like I said before, there's The Lying Game series, which I have been wanting to start ever since the show premiered. She also has two adult novels entitled The Visibles and Everything We Ever Wanted, which both sound very intriguing. I just found out that she has a new young-adult series coming out this February, called Heiresses. I can't wait to know more about this book, and what it's all about! If I were you, I would definitely start reading more by Shepard, and even check out the hit TV shows inspired by her books!
