Hello! Welcome to my website. Thanks for stopping by. Take a look around. Don’t judge. Actually, you know what? Feel free to be judgy. No one is watching.
But before you get too comfortable -- I’d like to announce that I’m going to be a published author. Yep, that’s right, after four years of cobbling together time to write in the early mornings or on weekends (when I really should have been spending time with my family) I've finally finished my debut novel, THE MAD WIDOWS. And, in a surprise plot twist, Simon & Schuster actually wants to publish it! (I keep waiting to hear there's been a mistake.)
The novel hits the shelves on March 9, 2027. I know that seems like a really long way away, but look at it like this -- if you pre-order now, when March does roll around you'll have totally forgotten about it and then the book will randomly show up like a surprise gift! Fun. Who wouldn't want that?
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, thanks for visiting my site!
