NYTimes Bestselling Author/Poet Ellen Hopkins
Ellen Hopkins has been writing poetry "ever since I knew what it was," and published her first poem--a perfect five-seven-five haiku--when she was nine. Called "the bestselling living poet in America" by Mediabistro, she is the award-winning author of twenty nonfiction books for children and eight NY Times bestselling young adult novels in verse--CRANK, BURNED, IMPULSE, GLASS, IDENTICAL, TRICKS, FALLOUT and her latest, PERFECT. In 2011 Ellen published her first adult verse novel, TRIANGLES, and will continue to write for both teens and adults "until they have to pry my cold, dead fingers from the keyboard." Next up, in 2012, will be the YA novel, TILT, and the adult novel, COLLATERAL. Ellen lives near Carson City Nevada with her husband, son, two dogs, one cat and two ponds (not pounds) of koi.
