When I was young, it seemed I was limitless (aren’t all children?), and I wrote my first play in fourth grade, my first musical in fifth, and then writing fell away for a bit as the theatre took over. It wasn’t until I was in my twenties that I picked up the professional pen and co-wrote a play in one act—Resurfacing—which was staged at the Second Stage Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. Through my contacts in the film industry, I fell into screenwriting with my screenwriting partner, Teresa Schaeffer, with a focus on holiday screenplays, both of us obsessed with Hallmark.It’s always been a dream of mine to become an author, a novelist, and so I wrote the first fifteen pages of my soon-to-be novel and applied to graduate school. It was there, in my MFA program at the University of San Francisco, where I learned to shape a novel and hone my craft. I then interned at Kimberley Cameron & Associates literary agency, eager to soak up all that I could of the publishing world, and became an assistant to literary agent Elizabeth Kracht.Now, Liz has become my agent, my friend, and I’m thrilled to have her beside me as we begin to shop my debut romance, HOME'S HARBOR, which is on submission now.
