Broadway Butterfly
A Thriller
Broadway Butterfly is a true crime thriller about the unsolved murder of a Manhattan It Girl in 1923…and the shocking ramifications that ripple from the gangster underworld all the way to the White House, was sold at auction and will be published by Thomas & Mercer on August 1, 2023.
WHERE IN THE OM AM I?
One woman’s journey from the corporate world to the yoga mat.
Sara has invested years dutifully climbing the corporate ladder to become head of PR at a major financial services company, but can't shake the feeling she's not where she belongs. When her latest boss, a wine-guzzling, drama-loving diva, finally drives her to the brink, Sara seeks sanctuary in yoga-teacher training... only to encounter an entirely different assortment of craziness and calamity.
Where in the OM Am I? is an irreverent, honest, and hilarious memoir chronicling one woman's journey from the fast-paced, cutthroat corporate world, to the slow-paced, surprisingly catty, and sometimes perilous world of yoga. Along the way, Sara confronts the harsh reality of working in a male-dominated industry, the challenges of being a corporate interloper in the yoga community, and the complexity of interactions between women in both realms. As epic mishaps beget personal revelations, Sara digs deep for the courage to forge a new life for herself.
