Each week, an accomplished published author takes over the YEM Twitter account for Thursday’s Twitter Takeover. Each week, the YA author will answer questions, tell stories, and give advice on our social media. This week young adult author Gary Merritt will be taking over our Twitter account.

Gary Merritt is the author of The Altered Adventure series. Step into the vast, unique world of Altered and follow the zany adventures of a far-flung teenage boy named Gizzy. His peaceful vacation is abruptly interrupted when a mystical cyclone rolls through, sending him to a strange, Earth-like world of Greenbloods, Transwolves, potions, and fairies. Will Gizzy overcome the obstacles of this strange and beautiful world and make it back to Earth, or will he fall victim to the spells and shifty ways of the ominous guardians?
