ABOUT THE AUTHORS

H.B. Gilmour
is the author of numerous best-selling books for adults and young readers, including the
Clueless
movie novelization and series;
Pretty in Pink
, a University of Iowa Best Book for Young Readers; and
Godzilla
, a Nickelodeon Kids Choice nominee. She also cowrote the award-winning screenplay
Tag
.

H.B. lives in upstate New York with her husband, John Johann, and their misunderstood dog, Fred, one of the family’s five pit bulls, three cats, two snakes (a boa constrictor and a python), and five extremely bright, animal-loving children.

Randi Reisfeld
has written many best-sellers, such as the
Clueless
series (which she wrote with H.B.); the
Moesha
series; and biographies of Prince William, New Kids on the Block, and Hanson. Her Scholastic paperback
Got Issues Much?
was named an ALA Best Book for Reluctant Readers in 1999.

Randi has always been fascinated with the randomness of life … About how any of our lives can simply “turn on a dime” and instantly (
snap!
) be forever changed. About the power each one of us has deep inside, if only we knew how to access it. About how any of us would react if, out of the blue, we came face-to-face with our exact double.

From those random fascinations, T’witches was born.

Oh, and BTW: She has no twin (that she knows of) but an extremely cool family and cadre of BFFs to whom she is totally devoted.
