What’s this all about? Thanks for asking!

I am a recovering paralegal, avid reader, and now a writer. A New England native, I grew up in Connecticut and am now a Mid-Atlantic transplant where I live with my husband and son. When I am not writing, I can often be found teaching myself to play piano and ukulele, or listening to a range of eclectic music. I also enjoy long bike rides with my family and have fun dying my hair purple. I cannot whistle, and I don’t like the taste of honey.

I have always liked writing. I was that weird kid in your class who didn’t complain about the next writing assignment. I may have groaned along with you, but secretly I was worried about how to stay within the page limits, not how to reach them! While I’ve spent a huge part of my life reading other authors’ books, I never tried writing my own novel before, until now.

My first novel, The Girl in the Gallery, started off as an experiment spawned by a minor identity crisis on one usually jarring birthday. Starting off as a personal challenge, I soon discovered that the more I wrote, the harder it was to stop until Henry and Kate’s story was told. I enjoyed creating their world. I hope you enjoy discovering it.
