It's no secret how Jen Calonita knows the inside scoop on young Hollywood. A former Senior Entertainment Editor at Teen People, Jen has interviewed everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Zac Efron. An entertainment journalist for the past ten years, Jen has written for TV Guide, Glamour and Marie Claire.

Jen's first novel, Secrets of My Hollywood Life, was about a teen starlet named Kaitlin Burke who tires of the fame game and decides to hide out in high school disguised as someone else. Us Weekly's Mara Reinstein said about Secrets: "At last! A witty, entertaining and refreshingly honest take on what it's really like to be a celebrity 'It' girl." Secrets of My Hollywood Life won the 2009 Louisiana Young Readers’ Choice Award. On Location, the sequel to Secrets, was published a year later. More titles in the series followed: Family Affairs, Paparazzi Princess, and the newest installment, Broadway Lights.

Jen's first stand-alone novel about camp counselors-in-training, Sleepaway Girls, is also out. Booklist said: "The picture-perfect setting, the sweet little kids, the seductive freedom from parents, and the lure of adult-like responsibility make this the perfect read-alike to suggest to fans of Ann Brashares' Traveling Pants series."

Next for Jen will be another stand-alone novel called Reality Check, which is about five best friends who are given the chance to have their own reality TV show. The book follows what happens to their friendship when they become stars.

Jen is currently working on the final Secrets novel, There is No Place Like Home, which will be available March 1st, 2011. After that, Jen will be working on a new series, which is about teen sisters. We promise to tell you more about it soon! In the meantime, check back for sneak peeks of new titles, giveaways and contests, plus tour information and signings.

When the self-professed entertainment junkie is not working, she can be found doing one of three things: scrapbooking, watching Gossip Girl, or going to the movies. Jen resides in Merrick, New York with her husband Mike, sons Tyler and Dylan, and their Chihuahua, Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Secrets of My Hollywood Life series is published by Hachette Book Group and is part of the Poppy line, along with other bestselling series from Alloy Entertainment such as Gossip Girl, The Clique, and The A-List. Check out the Secrets of My Hollywood Life website.
