You’ve probably seen this meme before. And apparently there is merchandise too! I’ve always laughed at this, but it became somewhat of a more serious discussion in my life recently when two friends expressed their concerns that I would write about them (wait, does the fact that I’m writing this blog post mean I’m writing about — Read More

Weekly Roundup: May 15, 2020
Welcome to my first Weekly Roundup, where I review the things grabbing my attention. Quote of the week:“We can’t be grateful all the time. Gratitude is deeply important and healing, but this is a time where we also have to make room for complaints. There’s a reason we have ten words for ‘complaining’ in Yiddish. — Read More
Exciting news!
In less than 6 months, this beauty will be released (comes out September 15), and I am so fortunate to have a publisher that is a true partner. Today, my publisher announced that my new book will be the first book under their new imprint, Keylight Books. I’m truly honored. I can’t wait for all — Read More
The writer’s plight
One of my best friends sent me this screenshot the other day and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately. It’s not that I have writer’s block (I don’t really believe in “writer’s block”–a post on this coming soon); it’s that I have so — Read More

What’s Next: An Update
Back in July, I posted about my plan to write 5,000 words a week in order to complete a first draft of a new novel by my 40th birthday. Well, that birthday is upon me and I’m happy to say I HAVE A DRAFT DONE (nothing like pushing up against a deadline, right?). I know — Read More
What’s Next
Now that TINY is out in the world, I’m looking ahead to what’s next. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in novel-writing mode. All 3 of my published books were written before 2017. I had my daughter in October 2017 and, since then, I’ve been adjusting to motherhood, working full-time (at an ad — Read More

A brief synopsis: Nate and Annie Forester are faced with every parent’s worst nightmare when their three-year-old daughter, Penelope, is hit by a car right before their eyes. In the aftermath of — Read More
Books I read in 2018
This is always one of my favorite posts of the year because I get to look back on my year of reading and do a grand tally. This year, I read…drum roll, please…75 books! I’m a little surprised I read that many because this year was so hectic–a newborn, going back to my full-time job, — Read More
Cherry Blossoms Event: Newport Beach Public Library
First of all, if you haven’t been to the Newport Beach Public Library, you should go. It’s one of the best libraries I’ve ever been to. I just wish I lived closer. I’d be there all the time. Thank you to everyone who came out to hear me talk about Cherry Blossoms. When I finished — Read More
