She’s So Boss
This is my newest book. It’s inspired by all the badass women I know – artists, producers, doctors, professors, founders of non-profits – and directed at the next generation of women with big hearts and big ideas. Because, let’s face it, we all need a little help getting started. And it doesn’t hurt to know that all the other successful women who came before us faced hurdles and learned to step over them. We’ve got this, Bosses. CLICK HERE to to order.
These are some cool covers from international editions of the book
The Dating Race
This is an older book, one that came out of many years of hapless dating, when I started to wonder what we were all doing out there, blind dating our way into oblivion and not finding “the one.” It made me wonder how we’d evolved – or devolved – from the delicate rituals of waltzing from partner to partner to speed dating around the room at the blast of a whistle. This was my undercover project aimed at finding out. From speed dating to dating experts, there is an billion dollar industry around our efforts to find each other in an ever-complicated world.

Welcome to the Real World
This was my first book, the first version of which (on the right) I wrote in my 20s when I was a wide-eyed college graduate with very little clue how to manage my working life and my actual life. We all need a little advice from a wise friend, and this book takes college graduates on a quick course in all the things they don’t teach in college, namely: Is buying a car better than leasing? What questions should you ask a potential landlord? How do you read the Business Page? What should you include in your resume? CLICK HERE to check it out.
Keep Your Frenemies Close (fiction)
Keep Your Frenemies Close (2015, Kingswell/Disney Publishing) is a companion to the Freeform drama, The Fosters. This first book in a potential series takes place over a weekend community service/extra school credit trip Callie is required to take in order to boost her history grade. To complicate things, she’s thrown together with Talya and the forced relationship between Callie and Talya takes a series of turns over the course of the book. The bright spot is a new guy, Austin, who flirts with them both and stirs up even more trouble between the two. Callie and Talya reveal secrets to each other, find common ground, find confidantes in each other, and bond over the work they’re doing. CLICK HERE to order.
Girl Boss
This book, precursor to She’s So Boss, was an early attempt to turn lemonade stands into bigger ventures for young girls. It had a great run, inexplicably topping the LA Times Children’s Bestseller list above four Harry Potter books, and now it’s living in boxes in my garage and for sale on Amazon for $.01.
