Title and chapter number art by Jennifer Heuer

Lois Duncan is the author of over fifty books, ranging from childrens picture books to poetry to adult nonfiction, but is best known for her young adult suspense novels, which have received Young Readers Awards in sixteen states and three foreign countries. In 1992, Lois was presented the Margaret A. Edwards Award by the School Library Journal and the ALA Young Adult Library Services Association for a distinguished body of adolescent literature. In 2009, she received the St. Katharine Drexel Award, given by the Catholic Library Association to recognize an outstanding contribution by an individual to the growth of high school and young adult librarianship and literature.

Lois was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Sarasota, Florida. She knew from early childhood that she wanted to be a writer. She submitted her first story to a magazine at age ten and became published at thirteen. Throughout her high school years she wrote regularly for young peoples publications, particularly Seventeen.

As an adult, Lois moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she taught magazine writing for the Journalism Department at the University of New Mexico and continued to write for magazines. Over three hundred of her articles and stories appeared in such publications as Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, McCalls, Good Housekeeping and Readers Digest, and for many years she was a contributing editor for Womans Day.

Six of her novels SUMMER OF FEAR, KILLING MR. GRIFFIN, GALLOWS HILL, RANSOM, DONT LOOK BEHIND YOU and STRANGER WITH MY FACE were made-for-TV movies. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and HOTEL FOR DOGS were box office hits.

Although young people are most familiar with Lois Duncans fictional suspense novels, adults may know her best as the author of WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER? , the true story of the murder of Kaitlyn Arquette, the youngest of Loiss children. Kaits heartbreaking story has been featured on such TV shows as Unsolved Mysteries, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, Sally Jessy Raphael and Inside Edition. A full account of the familys ongoing personal investigation of this still unsolved homicide can be found on the Internet at http://kaitarquette.arquettes.com.

Lois and her husband, Don Arquette, currently live in Sarasota, Florida. They are the parents of five children.

From its deliciously creepy, Southern Gothic atmosphere to the characters dangerous flirtation with immortality, Locked in Time isin a wordtimeless. Lois Duncan is a master of young adult suspense.

Malinda Lo, author of Ash and Huntress

There are a lot of smart authors, and a lot of authors who write reasonably well. Lois Duncan is smart, writes darn good books and is one of the most entertaining authors in America.

Walter Dean Myers, Printz awardwinning author of Monster and Dope Sick

She knows what you did last summer. And she knows how to find that secret evil in her characters hearts, evil she turns into throat-clutching suspense in book after book. Does anyone write scarier books than Lois Duncan? I dont think so.

R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

I couldnt be more pleased that Lois Duncans books will now reach a new generation of readers.

Judy Blume, author of Forever and Tiger Eyes

Lois Duncan has always been one of my biggest inspirations. I gobbled up her novels in my teens, often reading them again and again and scaring myself over and over. Shes a master of suspense, so prepare to be dazzled and spooked!

Sara Shepard, author of the Pretty Little Liars series

Lois Duncans books kept me up many a late night reading under the covers with a flashlight!

Wendy Mass, author of A Mango-Shaped Space, Leap Day and Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall

Lois Duncan is the patron saint of all things awesome.

Jenny Han, author of The Summer I Turned Pretty series

Duncan is one of the smartest, funniest and most terrifying writers arounda writer that a generation of girls LOVED to tatters, while learning to never read her books without another friend to scream with handy.

Lizzie Skurnick, author of Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading

In middle school and high school, I loved Lois Duncans novels. I still do. I particularly remember Killing Mr. Griffin, which took my breath away. I couldnt quite believe a writer could DO that. I feel extremely grateful to Lois Duncan for taking unprecedented risks, challenging preconceptions and changing the young adult field forever.

Erica S. Perl, author of Vintage Veronica

Haunting and suspensefulDuncans writing captures everything fun about reading!

Suzanne Young, author of The Naughty List series and A Need So Beautiful

Killing Mr. Griffin taught me a lot about writing. Thrilling stuff. It was one of the most requested and enjoyed books I taught with my students. I think its influenced most of my writing since.

Gail Giles, author of Right Behind You and Shattering Glass

If ever a writers work should be brought before each new generation of young readers, it is that of Lois Duncan. The grace with which she has led her lifea life that included a tragedy that would have brought most of us to our kneesis reflected in her writing, particularly (from my point of view) in I Know What You Did Last Summer. Her stories, like Lois herself, are ageless.

Chris Crutcher, author of Angry Management, Deadline and Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes

Lois Duncans thrillers have a timeless quality about them. They are good stories, very well told, that also happen to illuminate both the heroic and dark parts of growing up.

Marc Talbert, author of Dead Birds Singing, A Sunburned Prayer and Heart of a Jaguar

SUMMER OF FEAR

For my good friends Don and Eileen Stanton

When I look in the mirror, the girl I see there is pretty. I know that sounds vain, but I dont mean it that way. When youre seventeen and a half, being pretty comes with the territory. Smooth, unlined skin, shiny hair (mine is strawberry blond), trim hips, firm breaststhats what being young is all about. I know that Im not going to look this way forever. Twenty-five years from now, if Im lucky, people might call me interesting looking. Thats the best I can hope for, and it will be good enough.
