Hello! I’m a writer, mostly of fiction. My novel DEEP CUTS will be published February 25th, 2025 by Crown Publishing.

I was born and raised in Hope, British Columbia, a tiny town surrounded by mountains (they filmed the first Rambo movie there). At 18 I moved to the States, studying English at UC Berkeley and then getting an MFA in Fiction at Columbia University. Instead of putting this education to any sort of literary use, I spent the next decade running around San Francisco and New York, working in trend research and branding, and basically making a career of going out. I now live with my husband and two daughters in a creaky old house in Portland, Oregon, where I prefer to stay in, and write.

My literary agent is Anna Stein: anna.stein@caa.com

My film/tv agent is Jiah Shin: jiah.shin@caa.com
