BLIND SPOT by Laura Ellen {Book Blast}

Synopsis 

There’s none so blind as they that won’t see.

Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni’s body floated to the surface of Alaska’s Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can’t remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time it’s her memory that needs piecing together—to clear her name . . . to find a murderer.

This unflinchingly emotional novel is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind teen who just wants to be like everyone else.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Laura Ellen writes YA contemporary mysteries and thrillers from her home in Arizona, while also freelancing as a manuscript consultant for aspiring authors. She has a MA in Children's Literature and began her career as a teacher in both Language Arts and special education.

Laura has lived in many states including Florida and Virginia, and recently moved from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Scottsdale, Arizona, but the place closest to her heart, where she was born and raised, is Fairbanks, Alaska. She doesn’t miss the winters, but she definitely misses the summers and that small town, out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere feeling. Alaska is still a big part of her and pretty much everything she writes takes place there.

Laura is also a huge music fan and her musical tastes run vast and span deep. Music inspires her writing and is a big part of her writing process. You can read more about Laura and music,  see her book playlist, and view music that inspires her on her Inspiration page — you can also check out her current inspiration on the sidebar.

Diagnosed with juvenile macular degeneration as a teen, she drew upon her own experiences with vision loss to write her debut YA thriller Blind Spot, an emotional and suspenseful page-turner. Laura is represented by Jill Corcoran at Jill Corcoran Literary Agency and is part of the Sleuths, Spies, and Alibis blog crew. Want to know more about Laura Ellen?
