About Me

I'm the author of 13 thrillers, including my latest novel DADDY'S GIRL ! Natalie Greco loves being a law professor, even though she can't keep her students from cruising sex.com during class and secretly feels like Faculty Comic Relief. When Nat starts teaching a class at a local prison, her comfortably imperfect world turns upside down.

A violent prison riot breaks out during the class, and in the chaos, Nat rushes to help a grievously injured prison guard. Before he dies, he asks her to deliver a cryptic message with his last words: "Tell my wife it's under the floor." The dying declaration plunges Nat into a nightmare.

Filled with the ingenious twists, pulse-pounding narrative drive, and dynamic, flesh-and-blood characters, DADDY'S GIRL is another wild, entertaining ride about love, family, and justice.

My Interests

All of the above and then some. (See "Who I'd Like to Meet.")

I'd like to meet:

People who read my books, booklovers, or anyone who loves good stories, whether in books, TV, movies, songs, or cartoons (watch an old Tom & Jerry for perfect storytelling); also anybody crazy about golden retrievers, welsh corgis, horses, or who never get tired of talking about the cute things their dog/pony/cat/other pet does.

Music:

Gipsy Kings, Ben Folds, The Gorillaz, 50-Cent, Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dylan, Joni Mitchell (yes, I said it), Steely Dan, Sting, Weezer, Gilbert & Sullivan, Michael McDonald, Springsteen, Elvis!, Terror Squad, Snoop, Jay-Z, Nelly, enough already.

Movies:

I love so many movies but the movies I never get sick of are: What About Bob?, The Godfather I-III, Casino, Scarface, Orange County, Legally Blonde, anything with Pacino or De Niro.

Television:

The Sopranos, Entourage, Meerkat Manor, The Dog Whisperer, Meet The Press, House, 24, Project Runway, Windfall, Court TV, Bravo, Animal Planet.

Books:

Too many to mention, but all mysteries and thrillers, and mostly any novel with strong, believable women, (which is what I hope I write), plus I love lots of memoir, especially clever and voicey ones like Sedaris, Rakoff, Ephron, and Burroughs.

Heroes:

I think there's a hero in everybody, and I'm not kidding.
