Seeking Representation
A Los Angeles Comedy
Welcome to Downtown LA, where the rent is high, the stakes are higher, and the neighbors are the highest of all. A heartwarming ode to chosen family.
Title to be Revealed
A fast, funny romp through Downtown LA where a cast of eccentric Angelenos navigate real estate roulette, relationship chaos, and one outrageous business idea that might just be bad enough to work.
From Journalism to Fiction
I have lived my life chasing stories — from New York and London to Los Angeles and San Francisco. I've done live shots on television, penned essays for national newspapers and magazines, and covered Business, Health and the Arts in California for The New York Times.
Then I created a mystery set in Berkeley, and discovered a new passion for storytelling.
