Smart Bets: Time Warped book signing

Posted on by Xpress staff

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely of places. For author Tracey L. Pacelli, the impetus for her young adult novel, Time Warped, rose out of a battle with stage four melanoma. Pacelli beat the cancer, and, as she explains in an email, "in an effort to keep my daughter near me, I turned my attention as a writer to the YA market, so I could include her in the creative process." The resulting novel, which follows Lanie Landry on a quest to learn the truth about herself and her family, features a cover designed by Pacelli's daughter. It won the 2011 Preditors & Editor's Readers poll for best young adult novel. Pacelli signs books at Barnes & Noble in Biltmore Park Town Square on Saturday, March 10, 1-3 p.m. Free. http://biltmorepark.com.

    I absolutely loved her book and can’t wait to meet Tracey and get my book signed. I wonder when her next book is coming out. I will be first on line.
