I’ve always been a big reader, and I’ve always loved writing. By the time I was six, I often sat at the kitchen table writing stories while my mom cooked supper. I spent the summer I was nine writing a novel in my cousin’s hayloft.
Throughout my adult life I’ve always been writing, both for work and for pleasure. I worked hard at improving my writing skills, including taking numerous courses in fiction writing through Gotham Writers Workshop and Sisters in Crime.
I loved the experience of writing Not Your Child, and am happy to share it with a world of other readers. I’m now working on a second novel.
