Our featured MG debut author for today, Jennifer Ann Mann, and her husband once thought of naming their first child "Super" or "Aqua", considering their last name. Haha :)
Jennifer Ann Mann
13 Random Facts
1. I live communally. I didn’t set out to live this way, it just happened. It’s a great way to live—mostly because someone is always making chocolate chip cookies (even in the morning)!
2. I adore television. I will watch pretty much anything, even those ghost hunter shows where they never see or hear a ghost.
3. I was born with idiopathic structural scoliosis and went through two major surgeries so I could stand up straight and walk without a limp. Now I run almost every single day.
4. I love Starbucks coffee. I know this is a cliché, but it is also a random fact.
(Sidenote: Would it be weird if I say I don't drink coffee?)
5. I bite my fingernails. I’ve done it since I was a kid. First I chewed on my hair, but everyone was really grossed out by this. They seemed to mind the fingernail biting less.
7. My last name is Mann. When my husband and I were considering names for our first child, we thought it might be fun to name him “Super” or “Aqua.” In the end, we decided against this.
(Sidenote: OMG, hahaha! That sounds cool and awkward but I'm glad you didn't. XD)
8. I am the second of four sisters, and I grew up in a house with only one bathroom.
9. I like to read about gardening, but I do not like to garden.
10. When I was a freshman in high school, I ate a pound of peanut M&Ms every day for a month and ended up with a blood disorder.
11. I am horribly afraid of heights!
12. When I was eleven years-old, I was attacked by a German Shepard with three legs. I ended up with over fifty stiches down my two legs.
13. I fell in love with a boy on a train to Copenhagen. I’m still in love with that boy.
(Sidenote: Awww. <3 i="">

Sunny Sweet Is So Not Sorry
(Sunny Sweet #1)
by Jennifer Ann Mann
Published October 1st 2013 by Bloomsbury USA Childrens
Blurb (Goodreads):
We’ve all woken up on the wrong side of the bed. But have you ever woken up stuck to the bed? Masha Sweet has. And there’s only one possible reason: her little sister Sunny. Masha is used to Sunny’s evil genius ways, but the glue Sunny used to secure a bouquet of plastic daisies to Masha’s head is not coming out! The girls have to stay home from school and through a bizarre turn of events, they wind up at the hospital. It’s the perfect place to fix Masha’s head…but first they will (almost) contract a (not so) killer virus, steal a cast, and lead the nurses on a wild goose chase. When this is all over, Sunny Sweet is going to be so sorry!
