Lois Duncan on the upcoming re-release of Debutante Hill.

At PW:

How about updating the cover art?

Yes, there is a new cover and what fun! It is actually a photograph that my own father took at a drive-thru [where] we all went to get malts and hamburgers [Duncan’s father, Joseph Janney Steinmetz, was a professional photographer]. All the cars are jammed together and I’m in the picture at age 16, sitting in my blue Jeep sulking because I let some creepy boy drive my beautiful blue Jeep.

Does the creepy boy know he’s going to be on the cover of your book?

I have no idea who he even is! I can’t remember. I had a car. It was easy to attract boys back then if you had your own car.

DYING OF THE AWESOME.

SOOOOO looking forward to this imprint.
