About Me

I am the author of nine published novels - most recently, MAGIC AND THE MODERN GIRL, the sequel to GIRL'S GUIDE TO WITCHCRAFT and SORCERY AND THE SINGLE GIRL. All three books, published by Red Dress Ink (a Harlequin imprint) are about Jane Madison, a librarian who finds out that she's a witch. Magic manages to complicate Jane's work life, her love life, and just about every other aspect of her life.
(I've also written the award-winning fantasy novels in the Glasswrights Series (published by Roc, an imprint of PenguinPutnam) THE GLASSWRIGHTS' APPRENTICE, THE GLASSWRIGHTS' PROGRESS, THE GLASSWRIGHTS' JOURNEYMAN, THE GLASSWRIGHTS' TEST, THE GLASSWRIGHTS' MASTER, and the stand-alone fantasy novel, SEASON OF SACRIFICE (also published by Roc.))
