Eileen Cook is a multi-published author with her novels appearing in eight different languages. Her books have been optioned for film and TV.  She spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer.  Her latest release, The Almost Truth came out in December 2012 and she is excited for the release of Year of Mistaken Discoveries which hits shelves in February 2014. http://books.simonandschuster.ca/Year-of-Mistaken-Discoveries/Eileen-Cook/9781442440227
