Hi there!
Welcome to my page! I'm thrilled to have published my first book, Spiral, which is available on Amazon and will be available on Kindle Direct shortly.
Spiral is the story of starlet Cherie Belle, who begins going through a very wild, very public rebellion following the tragic death of her parents. With intense media scrutiny around her every move and no one telling her "no," Cherie gets mixed up in all sorts of bad situations that are broadcast to the world. Unfortunately, the only person close to Cherie who recognizes she's headed for trouble is our narrator, Jack, who juggles having a celebrity join his family with the strong feelings he is developing for her. Throughout the book, the reader gets a glimpse into the fake celebrity news website, dirterazzi.com, and hears what they have to say about what they and their sources witness. Ping ponging between Jack's genuine perspective and Dirterazzi's questionable, possibly exaggerated articles gives readers a glimpse into just how hard it is to decide how much of celebrity news is fact and how much is fiction, as well as what gray areas we may miss as an audience who doesn't necessarily get the full story.
On the night of publication, I posted a blog on my site, www.spiralseries.com, about fame and whether or not celebrities should expect intense scrutiny over their private lives. What do you think? Do you have a passion for celebrity gossip? Do you feel badly for famous folks? Sound off here and tell me what you think!

Getting rave reviews...
There's nothing more satisfying than hearing from peers and fans about your work. Below is a link to author Charlotte Gerber's blog, The Cat's Pajamas, and her review of Spiral. I am so truly grateful for the feedback and exposure Spiral is getting on its tour with Fire and Ice! Thanks, Shelly!

Yay Reviews!!
You guys, I'm really excited today...
So far, Spiral is getting awesome reviews by some really great bloggers and readers, and I couldn't be happier. All an author ever wants to do is share work with the world. It's a bonus if you can entertain people, and it seems like Spiral is doing just that!
I am hard at work on book #2, Twist, but it's taking a little longer than expected. A girl's gotta work! I wrote Spiral (most of it) over the course of a summer. Trying to write Twist while working has proven much more challenging. I'll keep at it, and hopefully it will be ready for print by late spring/early summer. Thanks for being patient and eager to read it!
Happy reading!
