Author Description

Chosen from over 200 submissions, these ten mystery short stories come from new and established authors alike. Never before published, they are gathered together in our First Annual Mystery Times Ten YA collection. Each story was read and rated by three panels of judges, which included book bloggers, teen readers aged 12 to 19, and YA buyers and marketing mavens from the largest book wholesalers in the United States. Each author was given the same set of parameters to use; each brought his or her own unique talents and tastes to the task at hand. There is something here for every YA mystery fan, from hardboiled to paranormal. Each story is a small bite of mystery that will satisfy and delight even the most discerning of readers. So sit down and dip in. We guarantee you won't stop at just one!
