Kerr, M. E.

Blood on the Forehead: What I Know about Writing

263 pp. | HarperCollins | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-06-027996-6 | Paper ISBN 0-06-446207-2
(3) YA The introductory note contains Kerr's succinct advice for aspiring writers. The remainder of the book is composed of brief essays explaining the genesis of specific Kerr works, each followed by a short story or selection from the novels 'Little Little, Gentlehands' and others. The autobiographical tidbits and writer's tips are interesting, but the book best serves as a writing sampler (and exemplar) of one of today's finest authors for young adults.
