Love Her Madly releases in less than a week and I'm jittery with excitement. I've been hard at work on the next two novels which I'm anxious to share soon, and doing a little work on my website. For the latest news and event updates on my work, please go to

Thank your interest and support, and please rate and review the book if you enjoyed it!

All my life, I’ve been very, very into books. If you’re reading this, chances are you are too. As a kid, I would geek out in the young adult racks of the library, picking up as many R.L Stine and Sweet Valley High novels as I could carry, racking up a fortune in fines (sorry, mom). Later came the heavy literature (looking at you, Russia), and the fun fiction (Hitchhiker’s Guide 4-ever!), and everything in between. All those stories, all those characters are still lingering in me, whether I remember them or not, like ancestors of a different type of blood.

I still cannot believe, in a dizzy, pinch-me-I’m-dreaming way, that I can finally offer something back to the library, and to my book loving compatriots. I know that it’s real because of the hundreds and hundreds of hours that have gone into writing and reworking the drafts until the characters that are so real to me seem real to you, too. I hope that I’ve succeeded in crafting a gripping, tumultuous, heart-rending trip for those willing to take the journey. All I can say is, I wrote the kind of tale that I love to read.

This quiet period, before the reviews come out and opinions, positive and negative, begin to fly, feels strangely precious. The story exists, ready to spread into the minds of others, but it isn’t there yet. It's just resting quietly, there on the page, waiting for you. If I have my way, Love Her Madly will be the first of many trips we take together. I hope you’ll join me for the ride.
