I want to write books that I would love to read – books with strong, complicated characters, twisty plots, and a nice tinge of romance. I want to guide my readers to my imagined world, where they don’t have to think about picking kids up from school or getting the laundry done.

My best friends from college and I have all started having children. I thought, wouldn’t it be wild if our kids one day got married? It spiraled from there to the About That series. I need to add, none of these characters are based off our kiddos. That would be gross.
