Lucienne Diver (edit name/settings)

Lucienne Diver is a literary agent by day, a writer and journeyman jeweler by night. She started writing in her teens because talking back to the voices in her head wasn't socially acceptable—and she already had enough to deal with being a drama and AP English geek.

Her credits include short stories and a romantic comedy written under the pseudonym Kit Daniels. With her young adult novel Vamped, she's taking off the mask and stepping into the full glare of ... indirect sunlight. Because as her heroine would tell you, anything else is hazardous to your health, especially once you've been Vamped.
About the series:
In Vamped, Gina and her minions defeated a vampire vixen, a psycho-psychic and the vampire council of Mozulla, Ohio. Gina was all ready to expose vampires to the world in all their fanged fabulosity…until the Feds arrived to sweep everything under the rug and make them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
In ReVamped, Gina and her boyfriend Bobby are sent undercover to infiltrate a New York high school where some seriously weird stuff is going down. Worse than that, Gina’s new super-secret identity is as goth-girl Geneva Belfry. No color palette to speak of. More chains than a bike rack. And don't even get her started on the shoes. At least she won’t be too worried about blood spatter when kicking the butt of her newest nemesis, who’s decided that the high school makes a perfect playground.


Quotes for ReVamped:
“ReVamped by Lucienne Diver was witty, sweet, and just dark enough to ignite my morbid taste buds.”
• Bitten by Books
“Add in a little jealousy, romance, a new, nasty nemesis who is preparing for yet another battle, and once again the hilarious view of the world through Gina’s eyes, and you get REVAMPED, the kick-butt sequel that everyone has been waiting for. As always, Gina does everything with sass and style, even if she dreads what she is wearing, and her interactions with Bobby aren’t so bad, either!

Lucienne Diver gives her fans a sequel to VAMPED that will satisfy them but leave them wanting just one more sequel, or maybe two.”
• Teens Read Too

“This is a witty vampire romance/adventure with plenty of heart and action. Diver has written a supernatural sequel to Vamped (Flux, 2009/VOYA August 2009) that will attract even reluctant readers. It is filled with wry twists, such as the difficulties of trying to apply mascara when, as vampire, you don’t have any reflection in the mirror, as well as the typical agonies of being young and trying to fit in.”
• VOYA, reviewed by Ava Ehde
“Gina, the 17-year-old fashionista of the undead, is back and as sassy as ever
(Vamped, 2009). Thoroughly enjoyable, this sequel is a light, fizzy read… listening in on Gina’s thoughts and quick-witted dialogue is what makes this such a treat.”
• Kirkus Reviews


Excerpt from ReVamped:
Gina's Rules for Surviving Super Spy Club Training

1. First, the dirt and sweat and all are just too horrible to contemplate. Your sanity pretty much depends on finding your own zen kind of happy place, like the Victoria 's Secret one-day sale or poolside with your own personal cabana boy.
2. Unless you enjoy cold showers, be the first one there, even or especially if it means body-checking your arch-nemesis on the way. She'll heal.
3. Cargo pants make you look hip-py. Unfortunately, the Feds have no sense of humor when it comes to giving your fatigues a miracle make-over. Tying your blouse into a belly shirt, turning your khakis into cut-offs and making hair bands out of the remaining fabric, it turns out, are practically punishable by death.
4. If you break a nail during super secret spy club training, you’re actually encouraged to stop and pick it up. Maybe you can even do a patch job later. What you don't want is to leave anything behind that can later be used for some kind of forensic analysis or locator spell.
5. Making out on missions, unless it's part of your cover, is totally grounds for extra push-ups. Great for your bod, but hell on your love life.
6. When going goth—and I mean hello, can I get a color palette here, please?—you've totally got to strike words like totally, awesome, phat and fresh from your vocabulary. Also, exclamation points. Whatever, however, is a total keeper.
7. When they're teaching lock-picking and all, hold something back. If they know just how good you are, you're going to have a really hard time sneaking out for pre-mission snogging with your honey.
8. Who are "they," you ask? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. And trust me, no one would ever find the body. 'Course that might be because you'd become one of us…the few, the proud, the unmentionables, and I'm not talking about those Vicky's Secret panties here people
