edit data

I write fiction and poetry about the inner lives of ordinary people — the hidden longings, moral crossroads, and quiet reckonings that shape who we become.

My work has been honored by ChristLit Book of the Year, shortlisted for the Hawthorne Prize twice, and recognized by the Independent Press Awards among others.

I was born and raised in New York to Greek immigrant parents, where storytelling was not entertainment but inheritance. Today, I live in New York with my husband and two sons and welcome thoughtful conversations with readers and book clubs.
