There was a book sign­ing in the Big Wal­nut High School Media Cen­ter last week, but the author didn’t have to be flown in from New York, LA or some other dis­tant and exotic loca­tion; she had to be excused from class.

The author is 16-year-old Big Wal­nut junior Sarah Ste­fa­niak, who wrote My Sup­plier, a 358-page novel set in 2038 about a soci­ety that raises per­sonal organ donors for elite citizens.

My Sup­plier, a Tate Pub­lish­ing ven­ture, has a May 7 offi­cial release date, but Ste­fa­niak has advance copies for sale and has been sched­ul­ing book signings.

Dur­ing last week’s book sign­ing Ste­fa­niak shared her writ­ing expe­ri­ences and advice with stu­dents in four classes and also about 25 stu­dents who dropped in dur­ing their spare time to visit with the young and emerg­ing author.

It was a pro­duc­tive book sign­ing ses­sion, with Ste­fa­niak sell­ing about 30 auto­graphed copies of My Supplier.

Ste­fa­niak, who wants to become a screen­writer, said My Sup­plier is book one of a trilogy.

Ste­fa­niak will be sign­ing copies of My Sup­plier on Sat­ur­day, March 16 at Com­mu­nity Library in Sunbury.
