About this author

Hello! I have written two novels - BETWEEN BALLOONS and THE TRUTH ABOUT LILLY BARNES. I am currently working on my third novel, THE ADORATION OF EMMA WYLDE.

I’m obsessed with all things Jane Austen. I read a lot of YA but my all-time favorite is a cozy mystery. As far as teen books go I really love Stephanie Perkins, Sarah Dessen, Sara Zara, and Ann Brashares. As far as adult books go I love Sidney Sheldon (he will always have my heart), Stephen King, Sophie Kinsella, and Charlaine Harris.

When I’m not reading or writing I enjoy spending time with my husband, baking, and finding ways to meet Jimmy Fallon.

The Do Over
by A.L. Zaun (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
Wonderful debut novel. I thought it had a really great take on a classic storyline. From the start I thought I knew what the book was going to be about but I liked how Zaun changed it up. Even though I did not like Rick at all, I thought it was inter...more

Run for Your Life (Michael Bennett, #2)
by James Patterson (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
By the end, Mike Bennett is such a badass. My husband and I are both listening to the audio of this series and I'm really enjoying it. This one was not a hostage novel but I still liked it.
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)

read in May, 2013
It took me the longest time to warm up to Rose. I liked her more by the end but it took awhile. Even though it wasn't my favorite, I still want to continue the series.

The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty
Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
" Another wacky fun Sophie Kinsella book. This is the first time I have done the audio of one of her books. It really enhanced the experience. I think I'm going to go back and listen to all her other books on audio now. "

I really enjoyed this. And I really liked Remi. It kind of made me think of Beautiful Disaster if we had seen Travis fight the whole time. I can't wait for the next one.
