edit data

I'm an indie author that focuses on contemporary romance with a little bit of everything: humor, angst and sometimes suspense. A Reason To Stay, book one of the Blackwood Series, was my debut novel.

I grew up as a book worm, reading anything and everything and still try to read at least a book a week. I've always had an active imagination. Luckily, I now have time to put it to good use into stories that are constantly swarming around in my head.

When I'm not writing, you can find me working on architecture projects, buried in a book with a cup of coffee, playing with my adorable son, laughing with my hot husband, or tackling my latest DIY project (and by that I mean putting my hot husband to work).
