I'm so excited to announce that I'm working on a new suspense thriller for adults! If you like high-stakes drama, sordid love triangles, and a touch of science gone horribly wrong, you are going to love this twisty novel that keeps its reader guessing until the very end.
One morning, I woke up with a wild story playing like a movie in my head. From start to finish, it was all right there—political intrigue, forbidden romance, controversial experiments that push the boundaries of science. Not to mention the power of positive thinking! All these seemingly unrelated elements came together to make a fast-paced thriller that prompts the question, what if?
It's the near future, and two scientists have made a breakthrough discovery that promises to advance mankind. But when their technology is rolled out to the nation, all hell breaks loose—lives are threatened, dark secrets are revealed, sanity is lost, and forbidden love is found in vending machine alcoves, all while the world burns to the ground. In a story where destiny can't be bought or controlled, six characters try to change their fate anyway. But can they do it in time?
I really loved writing this novel (especially adding my dog Dakota to it!) and I hope you enjoy reading it, as well. I'm now on the hunt for the right agent and publishing house, and once those details are squared away, the sky's the limit!

I am an award-winning author & illustrator from Nutley, NJ. In 2017, I began writing my Little Ant children's series. Since then, I have completed six books in the series. All six books have been featured in the 2020-2021 preschool art program at Lovlee Art Studios in Bloomfield, NJ. My latest book Little Ant & the Epic Battle received the 2020 Royal Dragonfly Book Award—earning an honorable mention in the Picture Books 6 & Older category. It was also recognized by the state of Illinois as a valuable COVID-19 resource for families with young children. It sits alongside recommendations from the CDC and UNICEF as a resource for understanding the pandemic. I have participated in over 50 local author events, including a book signing at Barnes & Noble, and have been featured on "Spotlight New Jersey" — News 12 New Jersey and in Story Monster's Ink and Jersey's Best magazines. I was also the guest speaker at a 2020 Nutley Rotary networking event and on the 16W with Norman podcast. I am now in the process of publishing a new adult thriller.

The magnitude of the coronavirus pandemic over the last year could make anyone feel small. Between the global scope, the narrowing of our lives and needing to wear face masks every time we leave our house — it’s enough to make even the toughest adult want to crawl into a hole and hide.
