About Me

After many years in the rain and subject to the whim of seasons, I followed the sun to Los Angeles, where I live with a dog, a cat, two crazy kittens, and an artist named Jeff.In between celebrity sightings, I write books.ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, EVERYONE ELSE'S GIRL, and my brand new novel FRENEMIES are all out now, from Grand Central Publishing's smart, hip imprint: the 5 Spot.You can find me at my website or over at the 5 spot blog , where there's always silliness of one form or another.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A Scandinavian. Or an artist. Or a jedi.Or... what about some fusion of all three?I know, I know. Just wishful thinking.

Books:

Mine, of course! ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, EVERYONE ELSE'S GIRL, FRENEMIES
