Sarabeth Lewis knows that anyone who's anyone will be at Teena McAuley's party this weekend. As it turns out anyone who isn't anyone will end up in Teena's basement. This includes Sarabeth. But the morning after, they're pretty glad.It's not going to be a good day when you emerge from a party you're not supposed to have been invited to find the house destroyed and almost everyone in bits. While Sarabeth and the other outcasts have been locked in the basement, the world appears to have ended - Sarabeth, Leo, Evan and Teena have become survivors of an alien invasion. Now they'll have to put their differences aside to save their town, themselves and quite possibly the world - and use everything they've got (including glittery-face paint) to squash some alien butt.
Iva-Marie Palmer grew up on the South Side of Chicago in a suburb known as Oak Lawn, which also serves as a fictionalized setting for her book. Through the years Iva-Marie has held a jaw-dropping number of jobs in a variety of fields including swim instructor, golf caddy, Hallmark clerk, member of a college road crew, campus newspaper editor, music director for her college radio station, and door-woman for a rock club. Shortly after getting married to fellow writer/reporter Stephan Stanis, Iva-Marie moved to Los Angeles and now has a two-year old son, Clark, who she says might just be the world's most adorable and funny person. Their current suburb is home to several movie studios, a fact she still finds awesome even after living there for seven years. Follow Iva-Marie at www.ivamariepalmer.com or on Twitter: @ivamarie
