I am an American-Australian writer and novelist living in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.

I was born in Flushing, Queens, New York, and came of age in post-punk, biker-meth southern California. For the past thirty years, I’ve lived in relative peace in Australia with my very good husband and a series of excellent dogs.

I write short stories, creative non-fiction, and recently completed my debut novel, The B Side.

The B Side

I am currently querying my debut novel, The B Side, a coming-of-age set in post-punk 1980s Los Angeles.

Trapped in a mobile home park for seniors and embarrassed by her hoarder mother who prowls town with a rusty wheelbarrow looking for junk that other people throw away, Viv dreams of becoming a rock journalist. When she lands an internship at a rock magazine, she interviews her idol, Grimo, the charismatic and volatile lead singer of the Deadeyes. Ignoring her gut instinct, Viv writes a glowing profile, establishing Grimo as a rock god and launching her own career. But when she learns that Grimo’s girlfriend is missing, Viv must go on a quest to discover what happened to her.
