edit data

Born in the Midwest, I live in New York's scenic Hudson Valley Region with my husband and two sons. A huge reader since childhood, I penned my first full-length novel in high school on a typewriter in my parent's living room. That was when my dream of becoming a published author was born. Life happened, and it took a while, but I can honestly say: it's the best job ever.

Cover Reveal

I'm so excited to share with you the cover of Slash & Burn, the 4th installment in the Nite Fire Series! The cover is a little different from the first three books but, since this one's a game-changer for Dahila and the gang, it's fitting. Check out the blurb below...

Surviving her ordeal on Drimera was only the beginning. Forced to pick up the remains of her life and move on, Dahlia returns to her
