Changing my train of thought (but still keeping my hands busy) helps me work through tough spots in my writing. Lately, I've been doing origami when I need to step away for a minute and recharge before I can reconnect with the story. (less)

Publishing a story is like putting a note in a bottle and sending it out into the ocean--I don't know who will pick it up or what they'll think of the message, but I hope it connects with someone. Hearing back from readers kind of completes the circle. It reminds me that a story that used to live only in my head now lives with other people, too. I love that. (less)

This Book Is Not For Me (And That's Okay)

What does your DNF list look like?

I didn’t even learn that acronym until I was on Goodreads as an adult, organizing my books into neat little categories. DNF? Did Not Finish? It was startling—and honestly empowering—to see how many Goodreads readers used this handy little acronym.

I guess it’s my rule-following nature to feel that I’m obligated to read every book I start—even if I don’t want to. Fi

Excellent story!! I read it in a day and was completely captivated by the characters. This debut novel is a quintessential “coming of age” story set in Buffalo’s West Side in the 1960s. A beautifully written, compelling page-turner—can’t wait to read ...more

What if there was no one you could trust—even your own mind? This page-turning novel pulled me in to Ghost’s dilemma from the very first page and kept me spellbound all the way to the end!

Ghost Grace White is now one of my favorite main characters.

“I’ve read that one out of twenty-four people is a sociopath, and if you ask me, the other twenty-three of you should be worried.”
Lisa Scottoline, Every Fifteen Minutes

Will Self
“A creative life cannot be sustained by approval any more than it can be destroyed by criticism.”
Will Self

Rachel Kadish
“Feminism means having a choice. And feminism doesn't care which choices you make, either. Just that you have them. The point has never been to establish some principled refusal to give yourself to another human being. The point is to make sure you can give yourself--or not give yourself--of your free will.”
Rachel Kadish

Rachel Kadish
“Love isn't rest. Love requires you, from time to time, to rip up your soul and replant it. To dare your lover to do the same. To muster sympathy where it seemed impossible. To be, perpetually, two kids joining hands, drawing breath, and deep diving.”
Rachel Kadish

Christa Conklin
“A steady, tiny stream of water trickles down. I'm always amazed by the insignificance of a river's beginning. Traveling upriver is like going back in time. I imagine being able to meet an adult and journey to his infancy. How much more we would understand each other.”
Christa Conklin, Unbound
