Thanks to those who responded, and for those who requested a HIT,
here it is:
I don't know how many HS authors are on it, but have you looked at the new
Author pages on Bound to Stay Bound's website. http://www.btsb.com Click on
Library Corner and you'll find the Author Showcase. You can choose by
birthday, state and alphabetical listings. I tried NY and ME Kerr. There wasn't
much info, but there was a link to her website.
You don't need a log in to access it.

I hope this works for you. I took it off my web site, and I am pretty sure
the links will still work for you. I know it is more than authors but I am
about to go to work and this was the quickest thing to send.
Good luck!
