From journalist to nurse practitioner to novelist, join local debut author Joelle Babula as she chats about her writing journey.

Bring all your questions!
Joelle Babula is an award-winning former journalist and columnist and currently a nurse practitioner. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, she now lives in the Baltimore area with her husband and two ridiculous lap cats. Infidelity Rules is her debut novel. When not writing or taking care of patients, she can be found exploring Baltimore's fabulous restaurant scene, playing outside or cooking for friends and family. Often, she's traversing the Eastern Seaboard in search of her next great food moan. She and her husband enjoy traveling, outdoor adventures and all manner of ballroom, swing and disco dancing. She is currently drinking wine and working on her next novel. Or eating cheese.
