Introduce Yourself : Would You Want to Be 16 Again? by Beth Kanell

Hi, I'm Beth and I live in Vermont. My published "young adult" novels involve death, and friendship, and all those horrors you recall from when you were 16. One of these days I'm hoping a creative filmmaker/producer will see, in one of my books, that uneasy sense of "life is happening too hard and fast!" that I think comes with the territory of being a teen (along with feeling like nothing will ever change!), and maybe we'll work together. The voices keep pushing me to more novels, and I'm writing three this year. Tell me what your life was like at 16 -- can you remember the good parts? -- and would you do it again if you could?
