I have a BA in Economics from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and a JD from NYU School of Law. I practiced estate planning law at Sidley Austin LLP in Chicago for seven years before leaving my job to travel the world and write novels. After culling my possessions into only what would fit in a backpack, I traveled for over a year until settling near the beach, where I can often be found writing from cafés. 

​

I am the author of the locked-room thrillers, THE SAFARI, forthcoming on May 20, 2025, THE CHATEAU, and THE MAIN CHARACTER, all published by Simon & Schuster/Emily Bestler Books. I am also the author of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, historical women's fiction published in 2021 by Hachette/Grand Central. My books have been called "rollicking good fun" (Wall Street Journal), "deeply engaging" (New York Post), "like a vacation in book form" (The Stripe), and a "cleverly constructed puzzler" (Library Journal, starred review). I am represented by Rachel Ekstrom Courage of Courage Literary Management.
