  <about><![CDATA[I'm a Harvard-trained Neuroscientist, a Meisner-trained actress, and an entirely untrained writer!

My first novel, STILL ALICE, winner of the 2008 Bronte Prize, was released on January 6, 2009 and debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestseller list!

It was originally self-published for almost a year before it was bought at auction by Simon &amp; Schuster.

I live in Chatham, Massachusetts with my husband, documentary filmmaker and photographer Christopher Seufert, and two children.

&quot;After I read STILL ALICE I wanted to stand up and tell a train full of strangers, YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK.&quot;  - Beverly Beckham, Boston Sunday Globe
