I write swoony no-to low spice romantic stories set mostly in fantasy and future worlds. When I’m not writing, you can find me curled up with coffee and a book, exploring new places, playing cozy video games, and watching a lot of comfort TV. I’m a Colorado native who moved to Florida, where I live with my husband/BFF, our turtle (Roz), our cats (Laszlo & Nandor), and a zoo of backyard wildlife. My debut novel, Ashes Swept, was published in 2017 and I’m currently working on my next novel.

Definitely The Scorpio Races. It's her best book yet. It's a mild fantasy about water horses, and it is a really fascinating story with interesting characters and a rich environment. :)
