The subject on this sunny Friday was NYC-based author Shani Petroff, the woman behind young adult series Bedeviled, which begs the question what if you’re a teen and your father was the devil? Not to be confused with that awful Elizabeth Hurley vehicle Bedazzled, Bedeviled aims its stake at the 8-12 audience that’s not quite ready for the brooding, preening ponces of Twilight.

The co-hosts and Petroff also discussed the publishing industry, Twitter’s $100 million fundraising blitz and mobile phone app experiments at Men’s Health.
