I'm the author of the upcoming novel LAND OF DREAMS, as well as the novels WHEN THE WORLD GOES QUIET, TAKE WHAT YOU CAN CARRY and YOU WERE HERE. In addition, I co-authored the book PSYCHIC JUNKIE.

Currently I live in Los Angeles, but have also lived in Colorado and Minnesota, two states that are big in my heart. I'm obsessed with reading, gardening, football, baking, and any form of procrastination.

If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. :)

I enjoyed writing from a very young age and as a kid I wrote "novels" (little stories in hardcovers - pretty sure I figured the hardcovers meant they were novels!). It wasn't until I was in college that I realized writing was something I took seriously and wanted to pursue. For me, being a writer had nothing to do with being published - it was just something I was because I wrote. I figure, if you write, you're a writer. If you can't NOT write, you're truly a writer. :) (less)
