About the Author
The Blue Brotherhood is my debut novel and while I relish the amazing journey it is taking me on, I am currently and very excitedly working on my next novel- Those Women. It’s a collection of true events dictated by my circle of cohorts and put together as a story of five women- single, married and otherwise- dating and surviving in New York City.
More personally, I reside in New York again with my husband, two children and 4yr old Husky. Aside from writing and furthering my professional legal career, I enjoy going to the movies and shopping…a lot. I like to spend summer weekends lounging poolside, beachside and exploring the beauty of New York State that we urban jungle dwellers sometimes forget exists. Winter weekends in my opinion, are best spent enjoying the crisp, cold air outdoors. I love skiing, snowboarding and just being outside when it’s freezing.
I’m excited about the release of The Blue Brotherhood and am embracing everything that’s come my way so far. I also can’t wait to share my other stories with the rest of the world!
