Hello! I'm thrilled to announce I'm going to be a published author! Whoo hoo!
After four years of scraping together time to write on weekends and in the early mornings and when I really should have been spending time with my family, my debut novel,
THE MAD WIDOWS, is finally done. And, in a surprise plot twist,
Simon & Schuster wants to publish it! (I keep waiting to hear there's been a mistake.)
THE MAD WIDOWS
Kate Copeland, widow, mother of two, is barely keeping it together—
coffee-stained sweatpants, Goldfish crackers for dinner, and a check engine
light she's been ignoring for six months. The one bright spot in her life is
a tight-knit group of widows who regularly get together to share camaraderie,
shoulders to cry on, and plenty of coffee and white wine.
Things are going fine—well, as fine as things can go for people with
a gaping hole in their lives—until one of the widows begins to suspect
her husband isn’t actually dead. The women suddenly find themselves
thrust into a "reverse murder mystery." Is he alive or not?!
While finishing a novel is very exciting for me, I'm not exactly new to writing.
For the past 25 years I've been making movies with my writing partner, Jon Lucas.
We love writing comedies — The Hangover, Bad Moms, Spa Weekend — stories about people making questionable decisions and somehow surviving them in an
entertaining (at least we find it entertaining) way.
Bringing stories to the screen has been a dream come true for me
and I look forward to telling more stories in print.
Anyway. Welcome to my site. Look around. Don't judge—too much.
