When I was born, my mother wrote in my baby book that my name would look good on the cover of a book one day. That’s a lot of pressure on a newborn, and it took thirty-odd years, but I finally came through. Okay, so I didn’t write the great American novel, as she’d hoped. I wrote Monkey Love, a romantic comedy about a single New Yorker who becomes the temporary guardian of a mischievous monkey while trying to balance life and love in the big city. Think Bridget Jones meets Doctor Dolittle.

Monkey Love came out in February 2006 and was featured in OK!, Elle, Quick & Simple, and Entertainment Weekly magazines. The sequel, Monkey Star, was released on August 7. This time, the monkey-loving Manhattanite ends up in Los Angeles, working as an animal trainer on the set of a big budget movie -- and fending off the advances of a devilishly flirtatious actor.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you see my mother, tell her to get off my back!
