Thank you for visiting!
I hope you'll enjoy finding out about me and my work. I've published nineteen books for young readers and one for adults. My most recent book, Dark of the Moon, is a retelling of the Minotaur myth. My twentieth book and tenth novel, The Stepsister's Tale, is a Cinderella retelling (with a new twist, I promise!) slated for publication in July, 2014, by Harlequin Teen.
