About me:
Thank you for visiting my page.
In short, I write books (three have been published and I have seven more on the way from Random House). I live in New York City and I welcome email from just about anyone!
My first novel for young adults, A DIFFERENT KIND OF HEAT (Random House, 2006), was recently named an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers. In May 2007, my new series for teens, THE CELEBUTANTES, will hit stores in the United States and Canada (and several other countries shortly thereafter!!) The first book in the series, THE CELEBUTANTES: ON THE AVENUE, introduces three fun, fascinating, and very fashionable sisters who have a penchant for crime-solving. (Yes, fashion and forensics go hand in hand.) The second and third books in the series will be published by Random House in 2008.
As you might have guessed, I'm a book freak. I spend most of my free time in bookstores, and when I'm not writing, I'm probably reading. Other facts about me: I love coffee and chocolate; I have an abiding interest in medical subjects (especially emergency medicine, trauma, and forensics); I love anything spooky. And -- as evidenced from the books I write -- I'm a teenager at heart.
I've enjoyed the many, many letters I've received from readers through this myspace page, so feel free to drop me a line and say hi....
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

Who I'd like to meet:
Readers! Fellow writers! And, generally speaking, people with brains and talent and compassion. People who like art, museums, history...and anything spooky.
