About Me

Current Living: On the the Upper West Side, NYC! It’s pretty amazing. I get to pretend I’m Kathleen Kelly everyday. On my morning walks to work, I pass by the 91st Flower Garden in Riverside Park. It’s pretty magical.

Favorite Books: To Kill A Mockingbird, Life of Pi, The Lord of the Rings and anything by C.S. Lewis. In YA, I love the Graceling series

When I was a kid I wanted to be: A news reporter, but I think this was because I liked their outfits on TV.  I always knew I'd be a writer though. The first "book" I wrote was a sequel to Titanic, it took up two composition notebooks. 

Favorite Music: Smashing Pumpkins, Queen, Switchfoot, Arcade Fire, Mutemath. I'm also big on film score! It's mostly what I write to. Favorites include Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Steven Price and Junkie XL. 

Side note, I'm a bit of a music fiend in general. Check out my monthly mixes! 

Favorite Television Series: Sooo if we're talking drama I'd have to say Breaking Bad. It is, hands down, the best, show, ever, made. If we're talking comedy though, it will always and forever be The Office. 

Some of my favorite Films: Lord of the Rings (if I HAD to choose between them, I'd say Return of the King), You've Got Mail, The Sound of Music, and The Exorcist. 

Least Favorite Film: Practical Magic

Special Skills: I'm really good at assembling furniture, and mildly enjoy it. I've played bass for years, and recently picked up the drums (wanna jam, though?) 

Before I Die: The only thing I wanna do before I die is stick my head from a car top while in a tunnel. Listening to Bowie's Heroes. Feeling the wind in my hair.
