I’m a third culture kid from New York. I currently live in the Netherlands with my husband and our two dogs.

MY BOOKS

The Vienna Vantage, is a crime fiction suspense novel set in Vienna, Austria. The story centers on financial crime and the human consequences hidden behind the numbers.

Nairobi Ndoto, a women’s fiction novel with crime involved, was inspired by the four years I spent living in Nairobi, Kenya.
