I am NOT the fangirl type. I always tell people that, and it's pretty much true. But I find that I need a new language when describing my (admittedly) one-sided connection to U2.

 1982. I was 15 and had lost my mom unexpectedly less than two years before. I met a boy. You know the story. Except it's funny how you usually don't understand what's happening while it's happening. The boy and I bonded over music. Or rather, we sparred about music. I was working my way through the greatest hits of the ...

Can't wait to share my news with you!

I just noticed that I haven’t posted anything since December, but I guess it’s been that sort of a year for all of us.

That being said, somehow PRELUDE FOR LOST SOULS releases one week from today!!!!

More information and some super nice comments about the book can be found ...

It’s been…wow, a long time since I’ve blogged. But as this year has been action-packed, and as we’re coming to the end of 2019 (how did that happen?) it seemed like a good time to collect all of my recent news in one place.

THE biggest news is that WE ARE LOST AND FOUND has been optioned for film by Ill Kippers Productions, the new production company of Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau (Games of Thrones) and PR guru Jeffrey Chassen, with Julian Morris (Pretty Little Liars, etc.) also producing.

I really appreciated the chance to talk to YASH3LF about WE ARE LOST AND FOUND. If you’re curious about why I wrote the book, why there are no quotation marks, or who the amazing AIDS activists are who wrote the afterwards, check it out.

(coming from Sourcebooks Fire, September 3, 2019)

A poignant, heartbreaking, and uplifting story in the tradition of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. We Are Lost and Found is about three friends coming-of-age in New York City in 1983 who are struggling to forge their own paths amid the pressures of relationships, sexuality, school, family, and the looming threat of a disease that everyone is talking about, but no one understands.

I am thrilled to be able to share my cover for WE ARE LOST AND F...

I’m beyond excited to announce the sale of my new book, BLOOD MAKES NOISE, to Annie Berger at Sourcebooks.  

This book is filled with music and friendship, first love and lust, dancing and theater, as well as New York City and so many other things that I value and love writing about.

It's also about fear. Fear of not being able to figure out who you are and fear of not liking the answers once you learn them. Fear of losing your family and fear of being broken by them. Fear of being out of co...
