It’s almost here!

The cast of characters in "Written on the Wall" have lived inside my head for over 15 years.  I wrote my first novel manuscript in 2009, a girl-meets-boy in the big city, chick-lit adventure set in San Francisco.  A few years later, I followed with a second novel, about motherhood, marriage, and the intersection of identity.  And finally, in 2014, I wrote my first draft of "Written on the Wall."

In this book, I gave each central character a core crisis, and set up the real-life friendships to falter within the framework of virtual social media.  These four strong women navigate the complexities of love, family, friendship, career, mental health, neurodiversity, and more.  Reimagining the narrative, while revising the book with present-day language and structure has been an incredibly rewarding journey.  I'm so thrilled to finally be bringing these characters into your life.  (And I hope to publish the two prequels someday as well!)

I hope you enjoy reading "Written on the Wall," a women's fiction novel set in Northern California.
