Jen Calonita, author of "Secrets of My Hollywood Life," visits the Merrick Library!
Jen Calonita talked with us about meeting stars like Hillary Duff, Ashton Kutcher and Lindsay Lohan, dishing out some stories about what working with celebrities is really like. Not always as fun as it sounds. She also talked about her book and what it takes to be a published writer. Afterwards, she hung around to chat and sign books. Hopefully we'll have her back in the spring to do a creative writing workshop!
