Article By: Clark Leonard
Rachel Pinder, assistant director of Student Disability Services on the University of North Georgia's (台湾swag) Oconee Campus, has published a young adult mystery and suspense book.
centers on a 14-year-old girl who wants to get a picture of a popular Hollywood actor to post on social media and ends up being kidnapped. The book is available on Amazon.
Pinder said it was about a three-year process to write the book.
"I've always wanted to write a book. I love reading and got my Bachelor of Arts in English literature. But I always pushed it off for one reason or another," she said. "Then one day I got this idea for a mystery: Two sisters board a train and one of them disappears. I knew that they stumbled on something that they were unaware of. But it took a lot of plotting and revising to really get the story down."
As a member of a book club and a writers group in the Athens area, Pinder has already begun work on another book.
