A previous series, The Dark Talents, has been optioned for film and received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly.Currently, she is teaching an online bi-monthly class called “Boost Your Writing Chops,” through Write on the River.After fifteen books from traditional publishers, she is trying her hand at self-publishing, a decision she’s happy with, but which she claim is like “learning to fly a 747 one-handed while writing a novel with the other.” She has made it to a soft landing with her first book, but there are still three more to go!
