About Me

Hi All!
My name is Kieran Scott and I'm a Young Adult novelist. Right now I'm BEYOND psyched because I love the cover for my latest book, GEEK MAGNET! Check it out! It hit stores in MAY 2008!
Everyone loves KJ Miller. Especially the geeks.
KJ is like the geek Pied Piper of Washington High, drawing every socially cluelss guy in a five-mile radius. If only Cameron Richardson, the star of the basketball team, would follow her around and worship her the way her dorky entourage does. Enter Tama Gold, queen of the popular crowd and solution to KJ's problems. The nice girl never gets the guy, and Tama is ready to help KJ ditch "nice" and get cruel.
GEEK MAGNET
Now Available at a Store Near You!
My other hardcover novels include the Christmas comedy Jingle Boy and the competitive cheerleading/fish-out-of-water novels
I Was a Non-Blonde Cheerleader, Brunettes Strike Back and A Non-Blonde Cheerleader in Love.
I also write Alloy Entertainment books under the pseudonym Kate Brian. You can check those out at:
