About Me



..Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty won a Top Choice Award! I'm a novelist looking to connect with other writers and readers. I have three books out now: TART, SUMMER IN THE LAND OF SKIN and NOTES FROM THE BACKSEAT. In April 2008 my first YA book hits the stands: CONFESSIONS OF A TRIPLE SHOT BETTY. I love writing YA! It's so great being 16 again without having to deal with the stuff I hated the first time around--zits, high school, terror and ennui. Well, okay, I still get hit with the occasional zit, as well as spontaneous waves of panic and/or ennui, but I'm definitely out of high school! Hoorah!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Young Adult writers, Young Adult readers, fiction lovers in general, novelists in general, aspiring writers, playwrights, filmmakers (my brand new passion), cool people.
