She might also take a break from writing once in a while to strut the stage in a local theater production. When Driver isn't writing, she's a teacher at an inclusive child development program in Nashville, TN. She is a multi-award winning author of books for teens and tweens, but you'll find some romance and horror stories in the anthologies, too. You'll find among her books a teen environmental activist, a young girl teaching people about autism acceptance and to stop bullying people with special needs, a princess who wants to be more than a prize for a prince, a boy who wins a girl's heart by being genuine and chivalrous, and a girl who bravely searches for a friend lost along the shore of a dark lake. Driver is an optimist at heart, and that's why she likes to write about young people making an impact on the world. ![]()

Sandor was in the process of frantically amping up Havenfield’s security because she’d burned down one of the Neverseen’s storehouses a few hours earlier, and everyone seemed to think that meant she’d officially started the war they’d been teetering on the brink of for years-but she couldn’t worry about that at the moment. “I didn’t see him-but I was out in the pastures, waiting for the new patrols to arrive.” “How long ago did Keefe leave?” she asked, glancing between Grady and the tiny gnome standing near her canopied bed.įlori shook her head, making her plaited hair rustle like windblown leaves. ![]() All she could do was stare at the crumpled note she’d found waiting for her in her bedroom, hoping she’d somehow misread it.Ī sound bubbled up her throat, something between a laugh, a cry, and a groan.

If she keeps all her buddies home from Kent’s party, she still ends up back in her own bed on the morning of the 12th.

I enjoyed the exhibition, so much so that I even bought the catalogue. A Different Vision On Fashion Photography" currently at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam (until 12 February 2017) offers an extensive survey of Peter Lindbergh's work and career. Indeed, some of these models have become icons in part because of the work of Peter Lindbergh (and Steven Meisel). Some of his photos of 90s supermodels, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell have become icons. If you have opened a fashion magazine in the past twenty or thirty years you will be familiar with the work of Peter Lindbergh.
