Now querying: Between Two Edens

I spend my days as a lawyer, mediator, and tutor, and my nights with snarky but lovable characters who are way more fun than the average disgruntled New Yorkers. My Instagram page, @bookandteapairings, has over 12,000 followers and is steadily growing. I lived in Singapore as an expat for two years, which inspired parts of my debut manuscript, Between Two Edens!

Between Two Edens


In law and in life, you’re not supposed to empathize with your adversary. But what if your adversary is a sad old woman who worms her way into your life and makes you question everything?

BETWEEN TWO EDENS is a dual timeline, upmarket women’s fiction novel following Eve’s past and present, complete at 70,000 words. Nicola Kraus, co-author of The Nanny Diaries, says about my manuscript: “After a year in which more women were forced to leave the workforce than ever before, Eve’s story will profoundly resonate with women grappling with what success means in a world that still asks us to put our professional goals last.” This manuscript will appeal to fans of the female intergenerational relationship of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, the layered mystery of The Sicilian Inheritance by Jo Piazza, and the quirk and chaos of Finlay Donovan is Killing It.
