I can see why she was the winner!<br /><br />I read Theresa's thoughtful post and her links. I admit to having mixed feelings about dark YA literature. Call me old fashioned, but I feel children should remain innocent as long as possible. Media exposes them to too much of the world's dysfunction too soon as it is. Is there no safe haven for a child anymore to be a child?Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367997384893777621.post-64090897483921159132011-06-14T17:51:23.197+01:002011-06-14T17:51:23.197+01:00Well happy National Crime Writing Week!

I think a natural born storyteller will write what they want to & it doesn't matter if it's dark, light or gray.<br /><br />Yes, chocolate bars can sometimes scream your name out loud!
