關於作者: |
New York Times bestselling author Jane O''Connor started writing
Dangerous Admissions, just published in August of 2007, after she
and her husband dropped their younger son off at his freshman dorm.
With the excruciating process of applying to college finally over,
an idea popped into her head to write a comic mystery set at a
high-pressure Manhattan private school much like the one both her
boys attended where the college admissions officer is found dead.
Dangerous Admissions is the first adult novel from a writer of more
than thirty books for children, including the insanely popular
Fancy Nancy books all HarperCollins. The first book, Fancy Nancy,
has remained on the New York Times picture book list for
ninety-eight weeks. Although she finds writing for adults
infinitely harder, O''Connor says that at least she had the fun and
novel experience of finally writing some sex scenes. Born, bred,
and still living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan where the
mystery is set, O''Connor considers her husband, Jim, a relative
newcomer to NYC even after thirty-five years. Three days a week,
she works as an acquiring editor in the children''s books division
of a major New York publishing house. Empty nesters now, the
O''Connors lavish an inappropriate amount of attention on a tough
little mixed breed named Arrow.
