Harriet Reuter Hapgood
Harriet Reuter Hapgood is the author of THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER and HOW TO BE LUMINOUS. Her first-ever professional writing credit was for Just Seventeen magazine, and she's been YA-obsessed ever since. She likes burritos, cats, Gwyneth Paltrow and young adult fiction, which she plans to write more of, though she's also considering a PhD in Dawson’s Creek. Her surname is Reuter Hapgood, not Hapgood, and she will go ahead and realphabetise her books in your home or bookshop if you file her under H.

Mrs. Brewer hit a home run.

Nelson K. Foley is in fact my real name, but among family, friends and acquaintances I am better known as Keith Foley.

What is also interesting is that my name honours a family naval lineage that goes back several generations of 'Nelson' and 'Nelson Trafalgar'. It also sounds better as an author name!
