I was born and raised in Philadelphia where I lived a typical childhood with a far more interesting fantasy life. I mean, how many other eight year olds were sticking their Star Wars action figures in Ziploc bags filled with water and putting them in the freezer to recreate the ice planet of Hoth? (Really? That many? Never mind.)
After college, I moved to Los Angeles and was very lucky to get a job as a page at Paramount Pictures only months after I got into town. I worked as a tour guide and usher, and I performed temp office work around the lot.
Eventually, I took a position working in the studio's licensing department where I quickly worked my way up to middle management.
After a while, one of my friends in the publishing industry offered me the opportunity to write a Buffy, The Vampire Slayer short story for a collection she was editing. Well, when I heard how little money I could make as a writer, I immediately quit my job to try it full time. (Stupid, I know, but it kind of worked for me.)
I started out by writing books based on such wonderful TV shows as Star Trek, Roswell, and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. I have since written over 30 books based some of the best shows on TV, adding The West Wing, Alias, and Prison Break to that ever growing list.
While I continue to work on these media tie-ins, I have also been focused more on my own original fiction, including my teen series DRAMA! and the Simon Pulse Romantic Comedy Love, Hollywood Style.

This is another of the novels which take place after Sabrina moves out and lives with rooom mates. Sabrina is accomplishing some good things but it seems that her friends are appreciating her comments; they're not falling all over themselves congratulating her.
She just wants them to see through her eyes, how much she's done and why she's so happy. So, it's spell time. Like various other sells this one goes wrong and it ends up that she loses her magic and everyone else everywhere suddenly has magic and thinks that's been that way all along.
Further, the witches (those without power) can get in trouble and have to pretend they have magic, even if it means getting things from a black magic market.
It's an interesting concept but one that's very hard to accept as a story plot. Since it seems that everyone else everywhere now has magic then that would mean that Sabrina must have had an unlimited amount of magic herself. It just isn't logical that such a thing could happen; the power levels just don't work out.
A minor point but in one part it says that a certain window is too small for Sabrina to crawl out of yet around seven pages later she crawls out the same window.
There's some other things that just don't seem realistic as far as the Sabrina series goes. This was a very disappointing addition to the series.

In this topsy-turvy adventure, Sabrina, everyone's favorite teenage witch, decides to reveal the hidden complexities of her life to her friends. She has good grades and a cute boyfriend, but she also has to constantly conceal her witchy secret. In an effort to help her friends understand the challenges she faces, Sabrina casts a spell that promises to give them a taste of her extraordinary world.
I loved all of the Sabrina tales full of magic. Every story was a different adventure and some new and exciting challenge to overcome. These books made me want to have magical powers too but the ending results were hilarious.
