A.S. King Biography

A.S. King writes books specifically aimed at teens nearing the end of high school and those going through the first couple years of the college experience. Her award-winning work has also developed a huge adult following.
While many younger readers are devouring books from the Young Adult shelf usually in the fantasy or paranormal genre the subject matter in King's work is not light fare. She has set out to start a conversation with those on the brink of adulthood and those who are mired inside of it--a conversation about everything. From bullying unsafe relationships parenting working substance abuse death sexuality and mental illness in families to historical and social subjects like Cromwell's Irish genocide the Vietnam War draft lotteries and Greek philosophy King weaves metaphors between teens and adults and between history and modern culture in an attempt to gain better understanding between generations.

Title character Gerald Faust knows exactly when he started feeling angry: the day his mother invited a reality TV crew into his five-year-old life. Twelve years later he is still haunted by his rage-filled youth--which the entire world got to watch from every imaginable angle--and his anger issues have resulted in violent outbursts zero friends and clueless adults dumping him in the special education room at school.
