Unlike many, Lauren Myracle remembers high school with fondness. She says, "When I was a sophomore, I had three especially great friends: Julianne, Maggie, and Gini. We did everything together. But for some reason, people liked to tell us (in that way that pretends to be nice but really isn't) to enjoy it while we could, because high school friendships never last. That was the idea I wanted to explore when I wrote ttyl. Because why do people assume that high school friendships aren't as real and enduring as other friendships? We all get to choose what kind of friend to be, no matter our age." Ms. Myracle holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. She lives in Colorado with her husband, Jack, and her sons Al and Jamie. She doesn't use instant messaging to keep up with Julianne, Maggie, and Gini, but she e-mails them frequently. And they always respond.Kauffman, Michael W. is the author of 'American Brutus John Wilkes Booth And The Lincoln Conspiracies', published 2004 under ISBN 9780375507854 and ISBN 037550785X.
