Me at 12 (I loved that shirt!)
Sneak preview of the cover art for my forthcoming novel, Frances & Evie. Thank you, Melissa Kenny!
Hi!
Thanks for stopping by!
Here are some fun facts about me. ​​
In my writing, I capture the quiet, confusing, joyful, resilient, and heartbreaking moments of growing up.
​
I published my first middle grade novel, Until the Ocean Freezes, a few years ago, followed soon after by the sequel, Hoops on the Moon. My third book for young readers, Frances & Evie, is coming out soon!
I love animals, especially elephants and my dog, Spencer.
​
I live in New York City.
​
I have two amazing kids.
​
My husband, Marc, and I met two weeks before we graduated from college.
​
I'm an identical twin.
​
When I'm not writing, you can probably find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm.
​
I read every chance I get and enjoy the works of countless middle grade, YA, and adult fiction and non-fiction authors (too many to list here).
