Author Q and A

1.  Where did you grow up /live now? I grew up in New York. Went to college in Philly. Moved to LA and have been rocking a bicoastal lifestyle (80/20 LA/NY) ever since.

What is your education/career background? I was a math major at UPenn and I unofficially minored in Spanish and Theater Arts. I then studied architecture at Harvard the summer after I graduated Penn. Then I pocketed my degrees and moved out to Hollywood to act. I had various day jobs along the way, mostly in bookkeeping and tutoring. I worked with Headcount which partnered with music venues and bands to get people registered to vote. I started Girls Guide to Sports about ten years ago. But my favorite “career” to list is “stay-at-home-mom to my dog.”

2.  Do you have kids and/or pets? 

Hula is my French bulldog and appears in my book!

3.  Do you have any interesting writing habits or superstitions?

An old family drinking superstition was that the last drop of the wine bottle couldn’t go to a woman or she’d be an old maid (likely rooted from the old maid card game and also likely created by a man). This has grown tiresome with multiple bartenders around the world and also my bare left ring finger so I’ve been known to abandon its absurdity in recent days.

4.  What do you like to do when you are not writing?

Sports wise I ski and scuba dive. I used to be an equestrian but haven’t seen a stable in years. I go to Jazzfest every year in New Orleans. I’m going to Burning Man for the first time this year. Food. Wine. Music. Sports. I’m a social being and collect friends all over the map so I’m usually cultivating some connection or relationship along the way.


5.  Do you have a bucket list? What are some of the things on it?

World ski tour (still need Alps and Andes). World Chef’s Table tour (we travel to one new restaurant for my birthday every year). Monkey tour of the world (Silverback gorillas, chimps, mandrills, orangutans). Raise a family. Sing the national anthem at a sporting event. Watch a game with Obama. Go skydiving. Learn French. Host a cooking show. Etc.


6.  How do your spouse/significant other/friends/family feel about your writing career?

My imaginary boyfriend is super proud of me. My real life family and friends are equally so.
