Guest Dare: Kiersten White

We are so excited to welcome our very first guest author to Friday The Thirteeners! Kiersten White, author of the PARANORMALCY trilogy, has bravely agreed to do a dare for us, and she chose Amy Garvey's. I hope you find the results as hilarious as we did.

If you didn't know, on top of asking for truths and dares from you, we welcome authors to take up a challenge with us. This blog is all about participation, so keep sending in your ideas, and don't be afraid to sign up to play. We'll be nice. We promise.





Thanks for participating, Amy! As the author of today's chosen dare, you win a copy of one of Kiersten White's favorite kissy books: ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS by Stephanie Perkins (if you already own this book, we'll work out a different prize). Our lovely April Tucholke is on the chopping block next so send in more dares! Check back Friday for another post.

  1. Oh, well done. Very well done. ::wild applause::

    It really wouldn't have been the same without the Tinkerbell journal, either.

    1. Agreed. The Tinkerbell journal totally seals the deal. ;)

  3. Thanks for accepting the dare! Your poetry is hilarious! I think we all took ourselves way too seriously in high school.

    :) That was awesome! My poetry from my teenage years is pretty similar. A lot of angst and a lot of line breaks...

  5. You compared to your high school self is like me compared to my late elementary/early middle school self. I would write these, er, very deep poems and then share them with my family under the guise of "something we read in English class today." Don't think I fooled them, but they were nice enough to pretend.

    Big fan of the dramatic one-liners, by the way. You can't get the "Ha"s right unless they're dramatically paused.

  6. "Um... I lettered in it..."

    TOO CUTE! Awesome job, Kiersten. Way to kick this off right! This is great, and I can't wait to see the responses to come.

    1. I'm with April. "Weekend fancy" just transports the whole thing to a new level. Poor teenager Kiersten became a player in a regency romance, cruelly cast aside! (But she will get her revenge. Ha. Ha. Ha.)

  17. I think I'm going to have to cast my vote with the "weekend fancy" folks. That was my favorite part. Aside from the whole thing of course. Nicely done!
