My novel.Coming soon(ish!) On to the next round of revisions.
I love a good story.
I’ve spent my life chasing and telling good stories. As a marketing professional, I’ve told those stories via innovative marketing initiatives and exquisite events for the world’s most prestigious companies, including Condé Nast’s Bon Appétit magazine and LVMH’s Chandon California. As a cook, I’ve told stories via more than a dozen food- and wine-focused books, including the Cakebread Cellars Cookbook, Summer Smoothies, Super Burgers, and the Big Ranch Farms. As a writer, I’ve used storytelling to win the pitch contest at the 2013 Napa Valley Film Festival; write a blog about my family cabin in Mendocino, and finish a novel that will be published in 2018. Subscribe to my blog here or follow me on Instagram for an almost daily story of what I’m eating, drinking and reading.
I don’t remember ever being bored at the cabin. If we weren’t running around outside with our cousins, swimming at the river, or playing games with whoever was up for Yahtzee or gin rummy, there was plenty to do by ourselves. We could lose ourselves in game after game of solitaire, hike up or down the creek or embroider.
