About Me

Cecil Castellucci is a YA Author living in Los Angeles. She wrote the book Boy Proof (Candlewick Press) and the The Queen Of Cool (Candlewick Press). Her new novel Beige (Candlewick Press) and her first graphic novel The P.L.A.I.N. Janes (Minx/DC Comics) are both out in May 2007. She also used to be known as a singer/songwriter playing under the moniker Cecil Seaskull or Nerdy Girl. She makes movies, too. Because you know, why not?

I like Kick Ass people. The muppets. An alien. Artists. Kindred Spirits. Kindly Monsters. Fairies. Revolutionaries. Moon men. And You. You naughty thing.
