About me

Gender Female
Occupation Writer
Location New York
Introduction Hello. I am a published writer. My first book, THE CURIOUS MISADVENTURES OF FELTUS OVALTON, is a middle grade fantasy about a cynical boy, his great-aunt and a very large sentient toad. I am also cynical and semi-sentient. And I enjoy whipped cream and scones almost as much as Great Aunt Eunida does. My post-apocalyptic YA, ASHES, ASHES, will be coming out on Scholastic in Summer 2011. Set in post-apocalyptic New York City in the near future it chronicles the thrilling adventures of a teen girl and her struggle to survive in a strange new world. I just completed work on a YA set in 1980's punk rock California (an era I myself lived through). That book is called FIERCE and I am very proud of it. I like to blog. I like to blog about writing, my kids and lots of strenuous exercise. I am a trained boxer and I could definitely knock out your mother, although I would never ever do such a thing. My other website is www.feltusovalton.com and you can follow me on Twitter if you like @jotreggiari I am rep'd by the fabulous Garrett Hicks of Will Entertainment.

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?

I'd probably start in China but I don't like digging holes.
