I love light reads with dark vibes,
and romance that grabs me by the throat.

I’m currently seeking representation for my debut novel, Nightship, a vampire romance set amidst the horrors of the New York ad world. Technically, it’s paranormal romance. But grounded paranormal, in that the biggest assholes are the very human bosses—not a certain bored, celibate vampire with money problems.

My urtexts include Pride & Prejudice, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and every single thing Ali Hazelwood’s ever written. I admire and envy Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House series, and, of course, The Familiar. Martha Wells’s Murderbot is my lullaby, the books that help me sleep when it’s very late and the world is very dark. (Yes, it’s a romance, even though SecUnit and ART never have sex, and I will die on that hill.)

For many years, I’ve worked as an advertising copywriter and creative director. I was one of the few women on the Apple account at TBWA’s Media Arts Lab, where I wrote the ads that launched iPhone and the there’s-an-app-for-that TV campaign. That was the job that ate my thirties. Now I freelance, which gives me time to write books.

I live in Los Angeles with my cat in a sunny apartment over the hill (down the 405) from my longtime boyfriend, a clown teacher and performer.

So that’s what I write.
