Author of The Mockingbirds

1. What’s your favorite department store?
Any store that sells Christian Louboutins so I can ogle them!

2. How long is the longest you’ve ever stayed awake?
The better question might be what’s the longest I’ve stayed asleep for and the answer would be 5 to 6 hours since I sleep very little!

3. What’s the most unique thing in your freezer?
Probably the half-eaten meat bone from last Christmas that my dog’s nanny gave her as a holiday treat. (Yes, I just wrote nanny. She’s a combo dog trainer/dog hiker/dog boarder, but I just call her dog nanny for fun)

4. Describe your dream vacation.
I’ve had my dream vacation! Every time I go to Paris. A piece of my soul lives in that city so when I return there I feel complete. J’adore Paris!

5. If an extra hour were added to the day, what would you do with it?
Learn French well enough to speak it in Paris.

About The Rivals:
When Alex Patrick was assaulted by another student last year, her elite boarding school wouldn’t do anything about it. This year Alex is head of the Mockingbirds, a secret society of students who police and protect the student body. While she desperately wants to live up to the legacy that’s been given to her, she’s now dealing with a case unlike any the Mockingbirds have seen before.

It isn’t rape. It isn’t bullying. It isn’t hate speech. A far-reaching prescription drug ring has sprung up, and students are using the drugs to cheat. But how do you try a case with no obvious victim? Especially when the facts don’t add up, and each new clue drives a wedge between Alex and the people she loves most: her friends, her boyfriend, and her fellow Mockingbirds.

As Alex unravels the layers of deceit within the school, the administration, and even the student body the Mockingbirds protect, her struggle to navigate the murky waters of vigilante justice may reveal more about herself than she ever expected.
