About Me

  • I was “born in the City of Angels, raised on Walt Disney, and inspired by the dreams of both.” It seems like I should add something about being “conceived in San Francisco,” but that doesn’t sound as poetic. My agent said I had a “poetic and lyrical” writing style, and I will always be thankful to her for saying that.

  • Taking a Break

    September 18, 2009

    • I’ve taken a break from blogging and social networking to focus on finishing my suspense work in progress started – and I hate to think about this – about two years ago.

Comments I've Written

  • Interesting post, Lauren. I

    Interesting post, Lauren. I try to only discuss books in public that I like. As part of "The Book Review Club," I always choose books I'm loving so that I can give a positive review.

  • Interesting post. As for me,

    Interesting post. As for me, I was traumatized by Pinocchio and had a horrible nightmare that my parents were swallowed by a whale. My sister, on the other hand, loved the horror movies of the time.

  • I'm new here on Redroom,

    I'm new here on Redroom, too. Nice blog post - fun to share your writing day. Good luck with it all.

  • I'm a new convert since (a)

    I'm a new convert since (a) I got a Kindle and (b) My novel is now on Kindle. I do think that change is afloat and will open new opportunities for writers and readers. It's exciting news.

  • Independently published - I

    Independently published - I like that. That's what I ended up doing, too, after my novel got an agent but no sale.
