Hi Everyone!

I am the published author of PRADA & PREJUDICE, a novel for teens in stores now! It is available at the chains such as Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Borders, as well as many independant booksellers and public or school libraries. Currently, it is out in the US and Canada, and will soon hit France.

My book was also recently in TIME magazine! Abigail Breslin (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, MY SISTER'S KEEPER) says, "I love fashion and am passionate about history. This book combines both."

You can view the cover and order it on amazon. For more information or to see the book trailer, please check out my website.

I also have a blog on livejournal, am on twitter, facebook, myspace, and goodreads.

I became a writer in 2003 because of Fictionpress. ONLY because of Fictionpress. Seeing all you fearless writers posting your stories made me want to be part of the action, and I jumped in the deep end. You guys encouraged me and reviewed my stories, and I never looked back. It is becuase of FP that I'm a writer today, and I thank you for that.

Here is the summary for PRADA & PREJUDICE:

Callie falls head over heels—literally…

and wakes up in Austen-Era England !

Fifteen-year-old Callie buys a pair of real Prada pumps to impress the cool crowd on a school trip to London . Goodbye, Callie the clumsy geek-girl, hello popularity! But before she knows what’s hit her, Callie wobbles, trips, conks her head… and wakes up in the year 1815!

She stumbles about until she meets the kind-hearted Emily, who takes Callie in, mistaking her for a long-lost friend. Sparks soon fly between Callie and Emily’s cousin, Alex, the maddeningly handsome—though totally arrogant—Duke of Harksbury. Too bad he seems to have something sinister up his ruffled sleeve…

From face-planting off velvet piano benches and hiding behind claw-foot couches to streaking through the estate halls wearing nothing but an itchy blanket, Callie’s curiosity about Alex creates all kinds of trouble.

But the grandfather clock is ticking on her 19th Century shenanigans. Can Callie save Emily from a dire engagement, win a kiss from Alex, and prove to herself that she’s more than just a loud-mouth klutz before her time there is up?

For my next releases, I have a romance novella, DRIVEN, coming out June 2010, and another YA, called YOU WISH, coming out August 2010.
