Garret Freymann-Weyr is the author of five Young Adult novels,* one picture book, and one mercifully out-of-print novel for grown-ups. Like most writers, Garret would prefer never to leave her study. A webpage seems like a reasonable way to present one's self and one's work without actually having to meet anyone. Hopefully, the information organized here will be of interest and/or of use. Thanks for stopping by. Please enjoy.

In the video below, Garret discusses her new book, After the Moment

"...an expertly crafted story about a complicated first love."

 — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"...Within this story’s raw, honest, psychologically attuned scenes, older teens will find their own aching questions about how best to love, shape a future, and 'do the right thing.'"

 — Booklist (Starred Review)

I'm trying to get better about updating this site on a more regular basis (at long last). In addition to adding some links to new reviews and interviews about After the Moment here, I'll be updating Stray Thoughts every Tuesday - proving that I'm not using the word stray properly.
