Her first novel, Back Roads, was an Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection and was recently made into a film with a screenplay adopted by Tawni. She also wrote and co-produced the popular audio drama, Rewrites. Her novels have been published in over forty countries and her writing has appeared in anthologies, magazines, and newspapers throughout the world.
