I’m a writer, editor, and journalist who lives somewhere between Nashville, Tennessee; New York City; and Richmond, Virginia.
My first young adult novel, The Debutante, will be out in May 2008. I am currently at work on my second. Roomies: Sharing Your Home with Friends, Strangers, and Total Freaks, an illustrated humor/gift book about the joys and perils of living with roommates, will hit bookstores September 2008. Under my pen name, Lucy Ruggles, I've authored a number of original junior novels and adaptations for Disney Press.
My work has appeared in The New York Observer, Newsweek, Nfocus, NewYorkMag.com, and Shecky's, among other publications. I am a freelance project editor for Sideshow Media, a New York-based book book producer/packager, and offer freelance editing, copy editing, proofreading, and photo research services.
I’m a strong believer in the healing power of butter, bacon, and Southern rock, and I never, ever wear white after Labor Day… or is it before Labor Day?

"Virgil Fox is ready to take on high school. He and his best friend Derek are going to become the life of every party, date the cutest girls, and one day rule Summerton High. But when Virgil goes out of his way to save an overachiever named Charlie on the first day of freshmen year, his social standing drops—big time.
Flash forward four years and Derek is captain of the football team while Virgil is captain of…the dorks. But when Charlie creates a time machine, Virgil sees it as the perfect opportunity to save his classmates from being bullied. Teaming up with Zeke, a rebellious loner, Virgil and Charlie become the time jumping Minutemen— a trio of “heroes” who stop bullies in their tracks. But will changing the past put the future of the world in danger?"
