Born in Brooklyn, NY, I lived for many years in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood where I met my husband. It was an arranged marriage—our dogs hooked up in a hot and heavy bromance and then we figured, what the hell? After marrying, we had two human boys in addition to our canine lads and moved across the country. Three years later we ended up back in Lower Manhattan and then landed in upstate New York. 

I’ve always been an avid reader and started writing as a tot because I felt I had a lot to say—and to the dismay of many others I’ve never stopped. My love of the printed word has taken me from avid reader to proofreader, copy editor, and writer of nonfiction, poetry, short fiction, and finally novels. I also teach writing and literature as an adjunct professor and massively appreciate having a captive audience. The only things I loves as much as books are my husband, two sons, spectacular golden retriever, assorted felines, sisters, and every animal I ever meet.

 

And let’s not forget chocolate.
