Hi, there! I’m a writer of fiction, plays, and the occasional screenplay or essay. My debut novel, The Delicious Double Life of Gladys Gatsby, will be published in 2014 by Putnam/Penguin; it’s about a very young restaurant critic (she’s 11) at a very big New York newspaper.

I’m slightly older than 11.

In 2009, my husband and I quit our jobs to take a very long, “around-the-world” honeymoon. Over the next two years, we visited 74 countries on 5 continents and ate more fabulous street food than we ever imagined possible. You can read our blog and see lots of pictures from the whole crazy, wonderful experience at AndyandTara.com.

You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook. I’m represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette at Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
