Writer of young adult fiction. Books, coffee, and rainy days. Lover of faraway places, (especially Paris) and the perfect leather jacket.

My daughter Kate and I created Cherry Blossom Chronicles as a lifestyle blog for tweens and teens. We will feature fashion and beauty, bedroom decor, travel, healthful eating and exercise tips, strategies for dealing with tough issues, and the latest in music, books, and social media.

Our special Extraordinary You series will feature teen and tween girls who do amazing things with their time and talents. Stop by the Chronicles and hang with us!
