About Me

I started out as an actress and turned to production as a development executive for Siren Pictures. I was a part of the founding production staff of Primetime Live on ABC and developed a drama program in association with New York City’s Metropolitan Opera for the Greenwich Public School district. More recently, I’ve managed corporate events and am working on my next book.

About My Book

Though A Thumb Over the Sun is fiction, it is based on my life. I have written many drafts over the years, each one protecting my narcissistic mother. It was my duty to hold our secrets. But after my mother fell breaking her ankle in 2018, and it was my job overseeing her life, I found myself back in therapy with the realization I had to cut all ties – have no contact with my mother. My hope is that this book can help others in their journey to a peaceful life from a parent with a destructive mental illness. If this book can improve or save one life, I will be grateful.

A Thumb Over the Sun is relevant to our times. On Quora and Reddit, there are thousands seeking help with their narcissistic parent. Many self-help books have been written on the topic, I have read most of them, but I haven’t found a book that has shown the turmoil and psychological damage to adult children as they navigate the choice of deciding to have no contact; finally finding peace and freedom.
