Before she published the seven volumes in the series (with one more to come), as well as several adaptions into a Manga series called Blood Relatives, she finished several young adult novels. Her first book, about a rock star called Johnny Lighting, was picked up by her brother Mark Schreiber's publisher in Belgium and first printed in Dutch.
When she later learned that a new editor at HarperCollins would be accepting unsolicited manuscripts, Schreiber sent her Teenage Mermaid. Not only did they publish it, but they also accepted Comedy Girl and the first book in the Vampire Kisses series.
