D. M. Wishing

Writer of romcoms and fine literature

This isn’t a photo of me. It’s a photo of my bear, Snuffles, reviewing our website.

I live in New York, close to Central Park. I don’t have a golden retriever, but I’d love him if I did. I play the piano, but not well. I sometimes bake fruitcake; I like fruitcake.


New York Sonata is a happy book about falling in love, that offers something for everyone.

  • A heroine as a quirky as Eleanor Oliphant while truly being completely fine, and as a passionate as Anna Karenina though indifferent to trains.

  • Thrilling action! Trips to exotic foreign places across water like Brooklyn and Staten Island! Encounters with dangerous wild animals like Canada geese! A daring rescue by helicopter from Cleveland!

  • The wisdom of the entire world wide web, delivered by an AI program moonlighting as a romance consultant.

  • Classical music

  • A tall billionaire

  • A golden retriever

  • Sparkly jewels

  • Lots of cake
