Meet the Author

I am Canadian, and here are some strange personal facts:


-I wore denim-top-to-bottom in high school (there is a direct inverse relationship between how much denim I wore and how few tongues were launched down my throat at school dances...or anywhere in high school at all).


-I'm continually baffled by that Malaysian baby whose father let him smoke two packs of cigarettes a day. That baby had so many fat rolls, and I thought cigarettes were supposed to be slimming.


-I always hated those insufferable couples who would cuddle and make out on the subway...until I became half of one. But now I'm back to being none of one so I hate them again.


One thing I love is writing. I wrote the parody "The Book of Awful" because the original made me angry, I wrote "NOT Love Poems for Real Life" because I needed to get things out of my system before I finished "Year of the Chick," and I wrote "Year of the Chick" because the realities of being an Indian girl who's living in a "westernized world" simply needed a book like that. And also because of Internet romance; it's an actual thing these days.


"Year of the Chick" is book one in a trilogy, and book two currently exists in the form of a screenplay. This screenplay made it to the semi-finals or better in five different screenplay competitions in 2011 (more details in the "Info" section of my Facebook page), so I'm confident it will be a worthy sequel to "Year of the Chick." I just have to write it into "book" form. With a full-time job. No biggie.

Au revoir (I'm Canadian which means sometimes you'll get French from me, hope you can deal with that),
