I think breakfast says a lot about a person, what is your perfect breakfast?
Fresh steel-cut oatmeal with raisins, bananas and brown sugar, sour dough toast, thick-cut bacon and freshly brewed coffee—yum!
Do you have a favorite period of time that you like to write about or would like to live?
I absolutely love history, so any era where I can get a real sense of how people lived in terms of their pop culture, challenges, great loves and big events will draw me in, which is why I love time travel stories so much.

Bully is a fast paced legal thriller where "The L Word" meets "Kramer vs Kramer." Bully begins in the 1980s when courts routinely stripped LGBT parents of their parental rights solely because they were gay. Bully then shifts to the 2000s to explore a typical lesbian relationship wherein Lisa meets Windy and they quickly fall for each other, despite Lisa’s plans for a baby. Although Lisa and Windy never marry, when Lisa breaks it off because Windy reveals herself to be a deadbeat, Windy files for custody of Lisa’s daughter to fatal effect… Bully explores the legal and emotional issues faced by single parents in the LGBT community and leaves readers asking the question: what rights do parents really have? It has been said, “In a world without law, you have chaos, oppression and tyranny and everyone doing what is right in their own eyes.” Bully is that story.
