The RUST BELT

First off, if you didn't know. I was born & bred in Ohio. Second, I miss it so much right now I could cry. Third, check out this blog post by Colleen Clayton (Youngstown native) and definitely check out her debut YA novel WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I'm going to! :)

If she can explain my beloved "Rust Belt" so well, I can't wait to find out what she can do with a novel set there!
Three cheers to you Colleen!!
