About Me

Hi everyone! I'm the author of the best-selling comedy sorority novel, HAZING MERI SUGARMAN, the sequel MERI STRIKES BACK, and DARK CINDY! You can get them all HERE!Oh, and if you're in the UK, my first book is called MERI SUGARMAN, PSYCHO QUEEN! Yipee! MERI SUGARMAN STRIKES BACK and DARK CINDY are available in the UK, too! You can get them all right HERE!Parlez-vous francais? Oui? Get the French-language version of "Hazing Meri Sugarman," COMMENT J'AI BIZOUT MERI SUGARMAN! Ooh la la! You can order it right HERE!I love to write (of course) and read (of course, of course! I'm a self-confessed book nut), and I love being in California because I can go the beach, I can hike, and do just about anything outdoorsy! ;)What are my books about? The first, HAZING MERI SUGARMAN, is a comic novel about Cindy Bixby, a mousy first year college student who believes she can change her life, meet new friends, and help her future by joining Alpha Beta Delta, an exclusive sorority house headed by Meri Sugarman, the glamorous house president! And then, uh oh, Cindy comes to realize that Meri is a dangerous psychopath! It’s up to Cindy and her new sorority friends to bring Meri down.In MERI STRIKES BACK, Meri is back with a vengeance, big time, determined to enact her cruelest revenge against none other then Cindy!And then, in DARK CINDY, Cindy Bixby finally comes to realize that she’ll have to turn to the dark side in order to bring Meri down! And in order to bring down Meri, she will have to become just like Meri!You can get my books at your local bookstore and library (make a librarian happy; visit a library today!), or if you like, you can order them from MY LI'L AMAZON STORE!Live in the UK?

My Interests

Swimming, yoga, traveling to far flung places and living there for a month or more (I'm hoping to do that in Italy soon), searching for the perfect espresso (believe it or not, me and my sister had the most perfect espresso ever...in Mexico!), general mayhem.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet other readers and authors and creative people! Yeaaaaa!

Music:

So much to listen to! But my current favs are Blue Chip, Blue October, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beyonce, Thievery Corporation, Jill Scott, Robbie Williams, Breaks Co-Op, Gotan Project, and Zero 7.

Movies:

I loved "Sweeney Todd!" It was AMAZING. You must see it!! Can anyone recommend a GOOD scary movie?

Television:

"Ugly Betty!" Love her! "60 Minutes" (but not Andy Rooney) (he can go away now). And "American Idol," too (of course). And "30 Rock" and "Grey's Anatomy" and "Medium."

Books:

Anything by Ann Patchett. I'm current reading "Run." So far so good! My favorite current books are "Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, ""The New York Trilogy" by Paul Auster, "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, and "Angel's Choice" by Lauren Baratz-Logsted.

Heroes:

KIDNAP MADONNA'S BABY!
