Trish Cook is the author of six young adult novels, including Outward Blonde, Notes from the Blender and A Really Awesome Mess. In her spare time, she's a runner, rower and wannabe guitarist. She dreams of being on The Amazing Race, but the closest she ever came was getting to the final round of casting for I Survived a Japanese Game Show (and unfortunately did not survive that last casting cut).
