Tour de Tattoo

YA author Jennifer Lynn Barnes is touring the Girlfriends Cyber Circuit with her new novel, Tattoo, in which she accomplishes the high-diving horse trick of combining chick lit with fantasy. Think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Buzz is good. Best line in the book (according to PW):

"You think you're bad?... I'm on the cheerleading squad; I know what real evil looks like."

Jen's bio says she's been writing since she can remember, but "has been, in turn, a competitive cheerleader, a volleyball player, a dancer, a debutante, a primate cognition researcher, a teen model, a comic book geek, and a lemur aficionado."

And then she graduated from Yale last spring with a degree in cognitive science. Talk about the ultimate "bite me" license.

You go, girlfriend!
