Writing

has always been one of my favorite ways to get curious and explore life. Whether it's a full-length book, fiction, nonfiction, a screenplay, or an article, I'm drawn to the stories, questions, and conversations that help us better understand ourselves and each other.

I hope you find something here that speaks to you.

121 First Dates

How to Succeed at Online Dating, Fall in Love, and Live Happily Ever After (Really!)

What began as an earnest attempt to find my husband in three dates turned into 121 first dates, a bestseller, and a completely new way of thinking about love, communication, and choosing the right partner.

Relationship Articles

Over the years, I've written hundreds of articles exploring relationships from just about every angle—dating, communication, marriage, polyamory, kink, boundaries, conflict, sex, breakups, and everything in between. If you're curious, I hope you'll enjoy wandering through the collection.

Coming Soon

Excommunicated

1983. Salt Lake City. The punk scene.

Excommunicated is a coming-of-age story about identity, belonging, chosen family, rebellion, and what happens when the world you were born into asks you to become someone you're not.

While it's a very different kind of book than 121 First Dates, it's driven by the same curiosity about what shapes us, what connects us, and how our relationships influence who we become.

I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.
