Sobre mí

I've always been fascinated with words. As a toddler, I scrawled them on my sheets with crayon. As a young child, I nabbed encyclopedia volumes off the shelves and taught myself how to read, shocking my mother at the dinner table by knowing that a kumquat was a member of the orange family. I wrote for my high school literary magazine and newspaper, and while I embarked on a career as a graphic designer after college, I still kept a daily journal and grabbed any opportunity to write on the job.

On a break between assignments, I renewed my love for fiction, and wrote a bunch of horribly bad short stories. Eventually, I got better, got published, won a couple of awards, and started to write a novel on a dare from my husband, commercial illustrator Paul Blumstein. I showed him–I completed that one and wrote eight more.

I prefer to write contemporary fiction and use humor when it fits the characters and situation.

The Joke’s on Me, put out by 4RV Publishing in July, 2011, is my first published novel. When I'm not writing, I like to cook, read, and watch baseball—not necessarily in that order, and in varying combinations.
