Smart people,questionableemotional decisions.
Upmarket contemporary romance.Written under a pen name,at hours the house doesn't need me.
What I write
Contemporary romance about smart, ambitious people who are excellent at solving problems — right up until the problem is another person.
What I'm writing
Four novels in motion — a Cambridge story of rivalry and eleven years' difference, and a second-act romance, both in revision; plus a solo-trip story and a suburban dinner-club novel in development.
Who I am
A working mother in a thoroughly unromantic industry. One husband, one son, two dogs, a career spent watching capable people navigate each other.
The company I keep
Emily Henry, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Helen Hoang, Carley Fortune, and others — writers who prove a love story can be smart without being cold.
“I write the kind of love story that gives you something to think about, and lets you sleep afterward.”
