Eric Lindstrom's debut YA novel Not If I See You First is set for release in January with HarperCollins Children's Books.

The popularity of young adult fiction has been on the rise for the last few years and Lindstrom's deeply readable novel is sure to be a hit with teens and adults alike, following in the footsteps of star novelists John Green and Rainbow Rowell, as it tackles real life issues with a lightness of touch that engages the reader from the first page. Not If I See You First follows a blind protagonist, Parker Grant, as she navigates her way through life, and Lindstrom has triumphed by ensuring that his complex, independent heroine tackles issues unrelated to her vision, such as romance, friendship and her father's recent death. With praise from fellow YA authors - including bestselling author and co-founder of Disability in KidLit, Kody Keplinger, and Hate List author Jennifer Brown - and a second novel in progress, Eric Lindstrom is one of YA's most exciting new voices.
