It all started with a four-inch book written in green crayon on peach paper, called "The Rabbet and Dog and Cat." Yes, I realize that's not how rabbit is spelled. I know that now. But when I was five, I wasn't worried about the spelling. I was too busy creating my masterpiece ("illustrated by the author").

Today, I write on the computer (look, Ma, no crayons!) -- my books include chick lit (HALFSIE), nonfiction (Nomad Press series), a middle grade (REGINALD PEPPER) and an upcoming young adult novel (SHE).

I'd love to talk about books with you!
