Welcome to the Harper Perennial MySpace Page

About Me

MS here. On behalf of CK and the rest of the Harper Perennial team, I graciously welcome you to our MySpace page. We are currently at work turning this site into a viable and entertaining literary destination. You may have been sufficiently impressed with our blog, the Olive Reader , but, as is our wont, we aim to do more. Since this is a work-in-progress, we welcome your comments and suggestions. The encouragement of your friendship is all we ask.

Harper Perennial is one of the paperback publishing arms of HarperCollins, Inc. Which is a global company - so that means Harper Perennial exists...around the globe. So that's cool. Anyway - we set up this MySpace page because we like authors and we like readers. And we're hoping that in our small way, we can put the two together.

And a reminder, check out our blogs, The Olive Reader and The Cruelest Month . Seriously. Super fun.

My Interests

Trade paperbacks. Always and forever.

I'd like to meet:
