My Stories...
Stories saved me. They made me who I am. They are the worlds I have travelled, the religion that I follow, the core of me.
Stories in books woven around the deepest secrets of another took me away and brought me back different. I want to live in stories. I want to make stories.

I want to be good enough to create stories that scream to be heard and carry forward and live beyond me.

I've written three complete novels:
- The Keeper's Daughter, a Romeo and Juliet story with a time bending twist.
- Ada Road, a middle grades novel about a girl who finds out her mother kidnapped her from her father as a baby and who must spend the summer with her previously unknown father's family on a Jewish bungalow colony to keep her mother out of jail.
- Crashing Melodies, about a musically talented teen who takes advantage of her parent's divorce to live two lives. When her worlds collide there's more at stake than she counted on.
