About Me |
|
| I'm an author of teen fiction, as well as a book editor. I'm a native New Yorker, and I love to laugh, read, write (of course), watch foreign films, travel, and go shoe-shopping.To see all my novels, click on my "Pictures," or go to www.amazon.com and search my name.I have a brand-new novel coming out in December (available for pre-order on Amazon) called THE YEAR MY SISTER GOT LUCKY, about two sisters who are real New York City girls (and talented ballet dancers) who suddenly have to move to a rural mountain town. Fans of SOUTH BEACH will love it, I think!Happy reading! | |
