“As I write this, I’m a week away from seeing my first novel April in Paris in June in print. I’ll come right out and say it’s a romance. I’m proud of the book, but I also know that people make fun of romance novels and their readers as being silly and out of touch with reality. Society likes to make fun of things women enjoy: vision boards, The Real Housewives, pumpkin spice lattes.”

from “Writing My Own Happy Ending,” Belmont Voice, Feb. 3rd, 2025.

“Such a fun read…Lots of sweet chemistry that occasionally explodes into hot fire. If this is what modern romance is, I’m here for it. “

Special romance (novel) edition

Messy and lovable April, and overly-conscientious Paul (who has retained his hockey butt into midlife), are engaging, funny narrators of this story that has them meeting up in Paris decades after a memorable kiss. It's so rare to find a romcom about characters in this stage of life -- April divorced with a kid, Paul looking around at his mother's 1970s kitchen, both trying to figure out where they go from here. The dating app plot, with smooth-talking but secretly frazzled Gabriel trying to orchestrate the perfect marketing campaign to recreate April and Paul's iconic kiss on the Eiffel Tower, keeps the story moving at a brisk pace and has some fun surprises.
