About Me

My name is Zoe Rose. I'm the girl on the cover of that book you're looking at. But that's not my real hair. I don't want to go into it but you can read all about me when the book comes out the end of October. Stephanie Lessing is the author. If you can't wait, you can pre-order on www.amazon.com . In the meantime, there are a few things you should know about me before you buy the book: I'm short. I'm neurotic. I'm afraid of children and I hate Republicans. And I have like the most enormous chest ever--- because I'm pregnant. But I don't know that yet.
