And Daren Wang of the Decatur Book Festival predicts McVoy’s “Pure” is going to be big.
Over on Simon and Schuster’s website McVoy does a Q&A and answers the question “How did you come to write “Pure?”
A. I had been wanting to write a book about what it’s like trying to navigate all the trials and tribulations of ordinary high school drama, plus trying to stay true to one’s faith, when my editor made me aware of purity rings. Immediately I got a sense of PURE’s storyline, and was so excited that I started writing the first chapter immediately. The opening sentence is pretty much exact from the first draft!
Daren tells me The Little Shop book launch of “Pure” will be on April 17th. I think the pic above says “7:30pm”.

Dave at Little Shop adds these details…

The book comes out on April 7th, which is in the middle of spring break, so the party is on the 17th. Indeed it is at 7:30.
We’re starting to put it together. Button Cakes Bakery will be supplying the cupcakes. Bubbly will flow.
We’re incredibly excited. It’s a long process, but the time is near!
Congrats, Terra! We have so many talented Decaturites!
