My debut novel, "Pinned," was published in March 2005. It's a coming-of-age tale that follows Ivan Korske and Bobby Zane,
two high school seniors, as they embark on the most important winter of their lives in a quest for the state high school wrestling
championship. The novel was chosen as a Jr. Library Guild Selection, Capitol Choices nominee, and nominee for YALSA's
'Best Book For Young Adults.' My second novel, "Over The End Line," which centers around high school soccer, was published
in July of 2009.
