About Bernadette

I am a native New Yorker who, when I'm not busy practicing law or making my family sandwiches, enjoys writing novels.

While I've hopped around genres from paranormal romance to serious women's fiction, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life throws at them the best way they can.

What Does it Mean to be Fearless?

In my day-to-day life I am a rule follower -- a color within the lines kind of girl. But in my twelve years as a writer, I've discovered  my inner rule-breaker. Now I write what I want, when I want. I write dark, I write light and go wherever my characters take me. I'm not afraid to explore the dark underbelly of life and, in the process, explore the cracks in my own psyche. 

I decided early on that if I was going to follow this crazy writing path, I would always write what was true to me -- that I would "go there" no matter what the cost. 

That I would always be fearless.
