Kimberly Pauley loves a good book you can sink your teeth into. Sucks to Be Me: The All-True Confessions of Mina Hamilton, Teen Vampire (maybe), a comic coming of age vampire story, was her first novel. She majored in English at the University of Florida and took as many classes in adolescent fiction (and science fiction) as she could find. As her alter-ego, the Young Adult Books Goddess of YA Books Central, she has been reading and reviewing books since 1998. She lives in Illinois outside of Chicago with a husband who loves her even though he hasn’t read a young adult book since he was about twelve, the cutest little boy in the universe, a devious cat with a diva complex and a sweet dog.
