Author of All I'm Asking
Online high school teacher Naomi wants to do it all: do everything she can for her students, support her daughter as she struggles with a new school, and help her best friend follow her career dreams. When she fails at all three, she'll rely on a candy-loving book club to help transform her soured family relationships back into sweet ones.

Favorite place to read a book: In the sun by the water. Preferably ocean water.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: I'd love to be stuck with Topher and Nihal from Sophie Kinsella's LOVE YOUR LIFE. They were secondary characters, but so so entertaining. I could easily hang out with those guys for a couple of hours in an elevator.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: When I was young I dreamed of it, but I think it was when I took up writing again several years ago and discovered I really did know how to write a story that I saw it as a real possibility. "Author" had a new, inspiring ring to it.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: Hardback (but I read 'em all)
The last book I read: A Door Between Us by Ehsaneh Sadr

Pen & paper or computer: Computer
Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Zoya, from Anish Bhatia's THE RULES OF ARRANGEMENT. Zoya is smart, funny, and kind. I think we'd have great fun complaining about our families while simultaneously going on and on about how great they are. Plus all our get-togethers would be food-centered and delicious.
