Three teens dare to bare it all in a new teen-authored memoir series, Louder Than Words.

Marni suffers from Trichotillomania, a disorder that causes her to pull out her own hair.

Chelsey’s father was murdered days before her 14th birthday.

Emily has been diagnosed with West Nile Virus.

Their stories are told in a 3 book series that combines a mixture of prose, poetry and journal entries.

In support of the new series, HCI Books has launched a week-long live Web show, which premiered this past Monday, August 10th on Kyte.tv.

The Web shows are offering viewers a chance to interact directly with the three young authors in a video chat format. Teens have the opportunity to interact with Marni, Emily and Chelsey directly during hour-long episodes. Viewers are able to submit their questions and comments through email, text message, and Facebook.

Tonight's live Web show starts at 8:00 PM EST, and will be hosted by Chelsey. Join her as she discusses life after her father's death and the female writers that helped her through that trying time. Be sure to catch Friday's show as well, where Marni will be discussing her unique condition and how the internet and other channels have helped her understand and cope with trichotillomania.

The Louder Than Words series is now available in stores.
