About Me
 |
 Me with my book babies at Vromans in Pasadena, CA |
I am the author of THE FORGETTING (Sourcebooks 2015), a 2016 International Thriller Writers Thriller Award Finalist, a 2015 Junior Library Guild selection and a #1 Kindle Bestseller, as well as the author of WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW (Sourcebooks 2018), which Booklist called “an engaging, emotional debate on rape and abortion.”
My debut YA fantasy series THE TWIN WILLOWS TRILOGY (Medallion Press 2014), was called “reminiscent of Twilight and Harry Potter” by VOYA. In addition, I penned the non-fiction middle-grade book HIDDEN WONDERS (Lonely Planet Kids 2019). I graduated with a BFA from Emerson College, where I majored in acting. After a decade in NYC performing in much off-off-Broadway Shakespeare, my husband and I hightailed it to sunny Los Angeles, where we now reside surrounded by fruit trees.
When I’m not writing, I’m plotting my next escape to a National Park (bucket list item: visit them all) or volunteering with my daughter’s Girl Scout troop (favorite cookie: Samoas).
