Here's what I've been doing recently:
July 2026: First and most importantly — I have a new book deal to announce!
Lake Union will be publishing my next novel, “Admit None: An NYC Schools Mystery” in Spring 2027. Click here to see the deal announcement and get a sneak peek of the story!
But that’s not all! It’s been 27 years since the soap opera “Another World” was cancelled, and “Parade Magazine” decided to do a feature on the officially sanctioned online continuation I wrote for half a decade, “Another World Today.” I don’t know why they decided to do it now, but I am so grateful!
Schools, soaps, and summer – what could be better?
Available Now!
Go On Pretending
Go On Pretending spans three generations of women navigating the tides of history, from the segregated 1950s America to the fall of the USSR and the rise of revolutionary Rojava. The story begins with Rose Janowitz, a pioneer in the golden age of television, who hides a radical past and a secret romance with Jonas Cain, an African-American leading man. As the narrative unfolds, Rose's daughter, Emma Kagan, returns to the US during the era of glasnost, facing the collapse of the Soviet Union and searching for belonging. Finally, in 2012, Libby, Rose's granddaughter, joins the Women's Revolution in Rojava, Syria, unearthing long-buried family secrets amid the chaos of war.
