Susan Juby was an editor with a self-help book publisher when she first set out to pen a comedy that would make her friends and relatives laugh. The work eventually became her acclaimed debut novel, Alice, I Think, which became Amazon.com’s Top Teen Book of 2003 and is now a television series and published in three languages. She followed it up with the equally acclaimed sequels Miss Smithers and Alice MacLeod: Realist at Last. Juby returns to WordFest with her latest youth book, Another Kind of Cowboy, about the coming-of-age of two dressage riders.
