Often mistaken for sisters, Leigh and Victoria (Vikki) consider themselves twins from different mothers.

We met on the sidelines of our sons’ baseball game and quickly bonded over books, baseball politics, and Leigh’s ‘famous chocolate chip cookies’. It came as no surprise to anyone, that our decision to write a book together was born over pizza—and we’ve been sharing a love of writing (and eating) ever since.

Our debut novel, Second Chances (2013), marked a new beginning for us following long careers in public relations (Vikki) and finance/interior design (Leigh), just as our sons were preparing to trade the nest for college dorms. Vikki’s career-honed writing skills paired with Leigh’s natural story-telling instincts have allowed us to create women’s fiction we hope brings readers warmth, humor, and genuine enjoyment.

When asked how we write together (our #1 FAQ), we point back to the beginning: we’re twins from different mothers in every sense—perfectly in synch while pushing and motivating one another to think creatively and write well.

Our second literary collaboration, The Pie Sisters (2015), is set against the beautiful backdrop of Canandaigua Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes region and tells a timeless story of love, family, and the true meaning of home.

The Pendulum’s Truth (2018), followed, exploring the idea that everything happens for a reason through the story of Ava Dell, whose happy life is suddenly upended.

When we’re not voraciously reading ourselves, we can be found writing from our homes in Rhode Island, where we live with our husbands.
