Beautiful Creatures author in town

MARGARET Stohl and Kim Garcia wrote the bestselling supernatural young adult novels Beautiful Creatures (2009), Beautiful Darkness (2010) and Beautiful Chaos (2011). If you’re a fan of the books – and the books have huge numbers of fans, it seems – here’s a chance to meet one of the writers in person: Stohl will be coming to Kuala Lumpur this month to meet her fans at the MPH Carnival at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.

The novels centre around two teens: Ethan Wate, one of his school’s most popular guys, and Lena Duchannes, the new girl who is instantly relegated to the unpopular crowd just because she is the niece of the most reclusive and gossiped-about man in their small Southern town.
