About this author

By day, I'm an appellate lawyer. By night, I'm a wife, mother of two, and author/lover of all things Greek mythology. I'm a native Floridian, frustrated world traveler, unrepentant dreamer, lover of acoustic music and not-so-closet geek. Destined, released November 17, 2011, is my first novel. Stay tuned for Beneath the Surface, co-written with the amazing Brooklyn Grant, coming summer 2012.


Hopefully I'm not dropping the ball on this one, but I spot only two debut YA book birthdays this week. (There's more out next week - I promise!) But in the meantime, these two sound intriguing, no?

This is really a 4.5 - I can't give it 5 stars because it wasn't as breathless and dreamy as Starcrossed, but it was still an awesome page turner chock full of Greek myth, handsome boys, and grave danger. Not sure how I felt about the love triangle t...more

3.5 stars.
If you know me, you know dystopian's not my thing, but I was hoping the weaver concept would have some link to the Greek fates. It didn't. Probably bad on me for making assumptions.

“The sun now radiated all around me and the magnificent palace that lay before me glittered invitingly. Which reminded me of another one of Mother’s sayings: if something appears too good to be true, it probably is.”
