...to my site! Thanks for dropping by. Here you'll find useful info for readers and writers on Young Adult, or teen, fiction.

I write paranormal stories (you know, ghosts and witches) as well as contemporary romances. My agent is working hard to sell my novels, so be sure to check back for news.

Read all about what's Hot Right Now in YA fiction in my interview with authors Niki Burnham, Tina Ferraro, Juli Heaton and Allison Rushby.

My YA manuscript CALL ME CRAZY is a finalist in the 2009 Golden Heart Award®. It really is amazing just to be nominated. Winners will be announced in July at the RWA® conference in Washington, DC

I'm thrilled to report my paranormal YA romance finished third in Chick Lit Writers of the World's 2008 Get Your Stiletto in the Door contest!

The same manuscript is also a finalist in the Golden Network's 10th Annual Golden Pen contest. The preliminary round was judged by past winners/finalists of RWA's Golden Heart contest, and the final judge is Simon & Schuster editor Jennifer Heddle.
