Betsy Wickwire goes to Ryerson University.

There is nothing authors like better than to see their books get a celebrity endorsement – which is why I was delighted to come across this photo of my dear friend/editor Hadley Dyer at Toronto’s Word on the Street.

Yes, that’s Betsy Wickwire Hadley has by the spine. And, yes, Hadley did have a few good things to say about it. To wit:

“Dyer says one of HarperCollins bestselling young adult novels right now is Canadian author Vicki Grant’s Betsy Wickwire’s Dirty Secret. The novel is a comedy about a girl who starts a cleaning service and finds love, friendship and self-worth without any fairies, zombies or vampires.”

(The good part is that bit about there being no fairies, zombies or vampires.)
