About My Book

Dreams do come true. Here are words I've waited my whole life to say: (drum roll, please...): St. Martin's Press, one of the biggest publishers in the world, published my first novel What More Could You Wish For on August 7, 2012.
This is a dream I've had ever since Mrs. Allen at Fulton School in Toledo, Ohio read my short story aloud to the class in third grade.

A beautifully written story, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WISH FOR will capture

the interest of readers from the first page to the last. Libby is an excellent character

who is trying to figure out where her life is going. Written in first person, WHAT

MORE COULD YOU WISH FOR is a book you won't want to put down. It is heart-felt,

funny, sad and poignant—a delightful tale.

Highly recommended.

The journey to publishing my first novel was a long one. It began in 2002, at the end of a failed marriage that should never have happened - it followed the death of my father in January 2000 and within the year I had sold my house, got married, quit my job, moved...I was the poster child for what not to do when you're grieving.
When the marriage ended I began writing about it. The thing about fiction is you can make things turn out the way you wish they had.
What More Could You Wish For  is a coming-of-middle-age story: Libby Carson is quickly approaching her 50th birthday, coming to terms with love. There's a steady guy and everyone expects she'll marry him, but then a first love from high school enters the picture and a family tragedy forces her to re-examine her priorities.
This is Libby's story as she figures out what she wants for the second chapter of her life.
