Female

I'm a California native and a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, where I majored in theater and minored in everything that Berkeley has a reputation for. After college I moved to Los Angeles, where I have made an interesting living doing novel adaptations and selling original suspense and horror scripts to various Hollywood studios, and have had one film made so far: an adaptation of German novelist Sabine Deitmer's thriller, COLD KISSES. My first novel, THE HARROWING, a supernatural thriller, will be out from St. Martin's Press in September. The story is based on real incidents from my high school and college years and grew out of my fascination with the correlation between mental/emotional illness and paranormal events. I am working on my next book, THE PRICE, another supernatural thriller, which will be published by St. Martin's in 2007. I currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Writers Guild of America, west; I'm also the founder of WriterAction.com, a large and unruly cyber-community of professional screenwriters. Next to writing I love dance more than breathing: jazz, ballet, salsa, Lindy, swing - I do it all, every chance I get.
