I Heart Bloomberg (86 Bloomberg Place Series) »

Over the years, Melody Carlson has worn many hats, from pre-school teacher to youth counselor to political activist to senior editor. But most of all, she loves to write! Currently she freelances from her home. In the past eight years, she has published over ninety books for children, teens, and adults--with sales totaling more than two million and many titles appearing on the ECPA Bestsellers List. Several of her books have been finalists for, and winners of, various writing awards. And her "Diary of a Teenage Girl" series has received great reviews and a large box of fan mail.

She has two grown sons and lives in Central Oregon with her husband and chocolate lab retriever. They enjoy skiing, hiking, gardening, camping and biking in the beautiful Cascade Mountains.

As they struggle to become the women they want to be, four housemates will find new hope, and maybe even learn a thing or two about life, love and the true meaning of friendship.

Anna wants to break free of her parents, Lelani has to get away from an overcrowded home life, and Megan just needs a sane roommate, so the three girls move in with Kendall, who has just taken over her grandmother's house. As they journey through together, their friendship and experiences will teach them all some important lessons. This is the debut entry in prolific author Carlson's (Ready To Wed) new "86 Bloomberg Place" series.
