Ginger Rue is the author of Brand-New Emily and Jump. She’s a former advice columnist for a teen magazine, and her work has appeared in Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Girls’ Life, Family Circle, and other publications. She is currently a contributing editor for Guideposts.
Ginger lives in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with her husband, two daughters, and stepson. Before becoming a writer, Ginger toured extensively with Van Halen as their backup drummer. Okay, so she can’t play drums at all and she totally made up the part about touring with Van Halen . . . but she’s a fiction writer, so making stuff up is her job.
