A native of Southern California, I wrote my first novel when I was 15. I am currently a freelance journalist covering television, the arts, and parenting, among other topics. Look for my work regularly in the Pasadena Weekly. As a mystery writer, my influences include my existence on the fringes of the entertainment Industry (yes, that's how we think of it out here), as well as the works of Dorothy Sayers and a host of others I can't begin to enumerate.
