About the author

I'm the author of children's books, mysteries and other fun word formations. DEATH OVER EASY, my first murder mystery, is out in October 2013 from Five Star, and I am working on book #2 in the series.

My short story, "At the Corner of Night and Nowhere," is included in an anthology called MOON SHOT: MURDER AND MAYHEM ON THE EDGE OF SPACE, forthcoming from Untreed Reads. I also write poetry. I will be featured on The 5-2 Crime Poetry Weekly (poemsoncrime.blogspot.com) the week of 11/4/13 and have some poems soon in LIGHT magazine.

I live on Long Island, NY, but am moving soon to New England with my husband and office assistant, Kashi the Cat. And I have three fabulous daughters.

I need to get some books on my shelves!

A somewhat bizarre story of this woman who makes a cake for a wedding and gets all of the wedding "stuff" into the cake - ranging from the flower girl's shoes to the kiss. And she bakes it in a tuba. Huh.

Illustrations are interesting.

Weird story of the crazy ingredients Hattie uses to make an awesome wedding cake. May be good when taching students the proper way to write list or ingredients.
