It's no secret how Jen Calonita knows the inside scoop on young Hollywood. A former Senior Entertainment Editor at Teen People, Jen has interviewed everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Zac Efron. An entertainment journalist for the past ten years, Jen has written for TV Guide, Glamour and Marie Claire.

Jen's first novel, Secrets of My Hollywood Life, was about a teen starlet named Kaitlin Burke who tires of the fame game and decides to hide out in high school disguised as someone else. Us Weekly's Mara Reinstein said about Secrets: "At last! A witty, entertaining and refreshingly honest take on what it's really like to be a celebrity 'It' girl." The sequel to Secrets, Secrets of My Hollywood Life: On Location, was published this past May. The third book in the series, Secrets of My Hollywood Life: Family Affairs, is out now. Jen is now hard at work on Secrets of My Hollywood Life: Paparazzi Princess (after which she'll write Secrets of My Hollywood Life: in New York). She's also working on a book about camp counselors-in-training called Sleepaway Girls. Secrets 4 and Sleepaway Girls will be published in spring 2009.

When the self-professed entertainment junkie is not working, she can be found doing one of three things: going to the movies, working on a home improvement project or watching Ugly Betty. Jen resides in Merrick, New York with her husband Mike, son Tyler and their Chihuahua Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Secrets of My Hollywood Life series is published by Hachette Book Group and is part of the Poppy line, along with other bestselling series from Alloy Entertainment such as Gossip Girl, The Clique, and The A-List. Drop by the Secrets section of the Poppy website.
