New Release Alert!

Today is the day! Wicked is the Hollow has officially launched into the world. And I can’t help but get a little nostalgic … 

This story idea has been floating around inside my head for years, inspired by the sprawling property I pass on my daily walks. I remember wondering: What if the family living there just up and vanished, dinner still on their plates? This is usually how my stories start. Some random, far-fetched, fun idea sparks in my brain and the book builds from there.

After years of ...

A New Release this Fall

This story has existed in the back of my head for nearly ten years. Every time I walked by this sprawling property with not one, not two, but THREE mansions and a ridiculously charming carriage house, all of which overlook the river … I’ve wanted to write this story. 

This past spring and summer, I finally did, and now it’s almost ready for readers!

It’s atmospheric. It’s fall. It’s a little bit spooky and a whole lot of romantic with a heavy dose of intriguing mystery, and I cannot – I repeat, ...

Ten Years of Tess & Luka

Ten years ago, I was navigating a stressful adoption process and facing down a manuscript deadline that just wasn’t cooperating. Writing—this thing I had always loved—was starting to feel like work. Hard, draining work.

So I decided to let myself play. I started something just for fun.

No contracts. No expectations. Just a story I couldn’t stop thinking about …

A girl who sees things no one else can see.
She thinks she’s going crazy.
Until she meets a boy who—she swears—can see them too.

I never p...

Simplifying with Kindle Unlimited

Hey Friends – 

‘Tis a new year, which provides the perfect opportunity for a reset. I’ve decided to take a step back from writing in 2024. I’m shifting this gig from full-time job to when-the-muse-strikes hobby. I want this creative endeavor to feel less like a slog and more like a playground. 

So in that vein, I’m simplifying.

No more wide distribution or online book store (all of which requires administrative time that sucks the life out of me). Instead, I’m going with one distributor: Amazon....

The Eden Pruitt Series

 

It is officially complete! 

All four books in The Eden Pruitt series are now available in paperback and ebook. Audio is also available for Eden 1 and 2, with audio for Eden 3 and 4 to follow in late fall.

I am so excited to share this story with readers! 

Here’s the most recent review from a customer on Amazon:

“Though I’m a big fan of shows like Dateline, Snapped and the like, suspense isn’t a genre I read. And a YA dystopian sci fi? Forget about it. I came to this story after reading anoth...

Your Next Book Binge Awaits!

The Eden Pruitt Series is on the cusp of completion!

And let me tell you, the final installment was a DOOZY to write. A time or two (or three or four), I genuinely thought I might have to throw in the towel. This book was going to be the end of me. But I kept plodding along, stopping to brainstorm a lot along the way, and now I’m thrilled to report, not only is the final installment finished, I love where it landed! 

No longer a trilogy, as I first imagined, but a four-book series. Yep. Four boo...
