Coming May 6th 2025…pre-order now!

I'm a #1 New York Times bestselling author with over 6 million copies of my books in print in 32 languages. 

My love of storytelling started young. In preschool I had a weird obsession with anything tragic, from Medea to Macbeth.  And, yes, it was the 70s when no one asked if content was child-appropriate. 

Later, I discovered Tom Lehrer and came home from school to listen to his satirical albums for hours.  When I started babysitting I spent all my money on Weird Al Yankovic cassettes. 

And somewhere between my obsession with royalty brought low and ‘Like a Surgeon’ you have The Nanny Diaries. 

As a creative coach, I believe it's the audience's God-given right to be entertained.  As a journalist, I want to know what drives people, what excites them, and how they get through the days when it doesn't all come together.  As an artist, I believe in sitting quietly for a few minutes every day to keep that channel open to the magical place where the words come from. 

And chocolate.  Dear God, I believe in chocolate.
