The
Masterpiecers
Genre: YA
Mystery
Release Date: April
15th 2016
Nineteen-year-old Ivy Redd’s talent with a needle and thread has
earned her a spot on a coveted reality TV art competition set in New York’s
Metropolitan Museum. The prize: a significant amount of money and instant
acceptance into the Masterpiecers, the school that ensures new artists fame and
fortune. Her talent has also thrust her and her twin sister, Aster, into the
spotlight.
Not that Aster needed help with becoming a media favorite. She managed that on her own by running over a wanted mobster. She told the police it was self-defense, because she couldn’t tell them the truth—the truth would make her sister look bad.
Locked in an Indiana jail to await her trial, Aster watches Ivy on the small TV hanging in the dayroom. It’s the highlight of her day, until she finds out what her sister truly thinks of her. Then, observing her sister becomes a punishment far crueler than imprisonment.

Olivia Wildenstein grew up in New York City, the daughter of
a French father with a great sense of humor, and a Swedish mother whom she
speaks to at least three times a day. She chose Brown University to complete
her undergraduate studies and earned a bachelor’s in comparative literature.
After designing jewelry for a few years, Wildenstein traded in her tools for a
laptop computer and a very comfortable chair. This line of work made more
sense, considering her college degree.
When she’s not writing, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, baking up a storm (that she actually eats), going to the gym (because she eats), and attempting not to be late at her children’s school (like she is 4 out of 5 mornings, on good weeks).
Wildenstein lives with her husband and three children in Geneva, Switzerland, where she’s an active member of the writing community.
