Riley Weston has worked as an actress on many television sitcoms and dramas, as well as the UPN television movie, What About Your Friends. She received rave reviews starring as Lix, the rebellious, orphaned teenager in the hit musical, 2nd Wind.
Riley started her writing career on the WB television drama Felicity. While writing on the first season, she guest starred as Story Zimmer in the critically acclaimed episode Drawing the Line. Riley followed that up with writing the feature film Damaged for Artisan Entertainment. In late 2004, Riley wrote and co-starred in the highly rated ABC holiday television movie Christmas at Water’s Edge starring Keshia Knight Pullium from The Cosby Show and Tom Bosley from Happy Days. She recently sold the family comedy script Summer at Dad’s to Revolution Studios.
Riley’s debut novel “Before I Go” is a touching story of family, love and the will of the human spirit. It centers on Annie, an ice skating coach who gave up on her dream long ago, and young Olympic hopeful, Madison Henry. What makes this team different from the rest is... Annie and Madison also happen to be mother and daughter.
The novel was published in September 2006 and is getting excellent reviews. Click here to read the first chapter.
