Hi! I'm a Classical music radio host by day and a romance-turned-women's-fiction author every moment I squeeze in around that! I have self-pubbed and pubbed with Entangled Publishing. I have my first "big" book, Familia, coming out at the end of this year with Kensington, and am currently working on a follow-up. I live on Long Island with my husband and rescue pup. I am repped by Jill Marsal of Marsal Lyon Literary. I'm always on the lookout for other writers to connect with so please introduce yourself if you see me out and about. Looking forward to meeting you!
