I grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, hometown of Taylor Swift, John Updike and A.S. King.

This is me in high school.  I liked to dye my hair, shop at thrift stores and listen to a lot of Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Erasure.  My favorite book was The Stand. 

I went to college at American University in Washington DC and graduated with a Lit degree which spent the next twelve years collecting dust while I worked in human resources for a national retail chain. 

Now I live north of NYC in an old farmhouse with my husband and three young sons.  I still love thrift stores, listen to just about anything from Mozart to My Chemical Romance, and have way too many favorite books to name. 

THE MARK is my first novel.
