About Me


Out now, TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at most bookstores. It's gotten great reviews, including praise from Publisher's Weekly and Library School Journal (she says modestly). Here’s a short blurb:
Being dumped two days before prom is hard enough--but being dumped by the hottest guy in school becomes of Nicolette Antonovich's worst experiences ever. Along with that, she has to deal with family issues, a best friend's arrogant older brother, the rumor-mill, and the eternal question: What DO you do with an unworn prom dress?
My second is HOW TO HOOK A HOTTIE, and will be out on January 8, 2008. Here is a blurb:
Kate DelVecchio plans to be a millionaire before she's 21. When she agrees to go to a sports banquet with a hotshot baseball player, she stumbles upon a possible cash cow. The rest of the school is amazed that the no-nonsense Kate could hook such a hottie, and one by one approach her for help hooking their own. She doesn't know anything about getting guys, but for $100.00 a pop, she's more than willing to try, including inventing a 6-step-plan on How to Hook a Hottie. And how could that possibly backfire?
I have since sold two more books, to come out in the spring of 2009 and 2010! I hope you check them all out!MySpace Backgrounds
