". . . the story is great and the writing superb!"

Can't argue with a quote like that, especially when the rest of the review is also really nice!
Check it out:
review of OR NOT!



And
my first interview.

Excerpt:

TR2: What, or who, has been the greatest inspiration for your stories?

MANDABACH: I had a student who was told by a holier-than-thou classmate that she was going to hell. How can a person who professes to be inspired by a god of love be so mean? Not that the particulars of that incident are important—I see so much meanness, from girls being called fat to boys being called gay. But I see a lot of love, too. So, my students inspired me a lot in the writing of Or Not.
