Coshocton native, Dr. Kristy L. Boyce, recently (February 9th)  had her first young adult novel published by HarperCollins.  The book not only draws on Boyce's past trips to the United Kingdom, but also on her background teaching psychology at Ohio State University.  Some of her courses focus on personality and self esteem, which are central themes to the novel.  

The 1999 graduate of River View High School, who now lives in Columbus, said “Hot British Boyfriend” is the story of Ellie Nichols, who joins her high school’s study abroad program and goes to England. A whirlwind romance seems like what she needs and wants, but then she starts questioning if it truly is…

Join us on Zoom to learn a little about the book and Kristy’s journey.  And come with loads of questions about the creative process, about publishing, and about the book’s theme of finding self-acceptance.
