  Bruce Brooks

  Bruce Brooks (born September 23, 1950) is an American author of young adult and children's literature. He was born in Washington D.C., but spent most of his time growing up in North Carolina as a result of parents' being divorced. Although divorce is never easy for a child, Brooks credits moving around a lot between the two locations with making him a keen observer of social situations. Switching schools often and having to make new friends evolved his ability to tell good stories. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972, and the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1980. Before earning a living as a writer, Brooks had worked as a letterpress operator and a journalist for magazines and newspapers. Brooks has reported

  Linda Crew

  My early books were for young readers, and perhaps my best-known is my first, Children of the River. Set against the backdrop of the Cambodian refugee crisis of 1979, it’s still used in schools and English-as-a-second-language classes across the country twenty-seven years since publication. My two most recent—Brides of Eden: a True Story Imagined and A Heart for Any Fate: Westward to Oregon 1845—were published as cross-over titles, and I suspect have been read by more adults than teenagers.
  
  With my new book, I have had to take a completely different turn. When I inadvertently became addicted to both Oxycodone and Xanax after undergoing total knee replacement surgery, there was suddenly no material more compelling to me than my own survival a

  Deb Levy

  Deb Levy, author of BURY THE HOT, was born in Miami where she grew up celebrating holidays with Sal Wainberg and his family. She trick-or-treated with his daughter. Sal and his wife attended Deb's wedding. Yet, Deb knew nothing of Sal's past until he called out of the blue and asked her to write his story. Born in a Polish shtetl in 1936, Sal's world was surrounded by murderous rage, and the spare miracle. From living in a ghetto to cowering for weeks in an attic; hiding underneath a farmhouse to wandering barefoot through fields of rye ... Sal lived a life that Deb only knew of from movies. "But don't write some Hollywood tale," Sal told her. "I want the truth." BURY THE HOT is the Holocaust story few have the tenacity or courage to share,
