edit data

I’m the author of the completed Miami Music Mystery series, The Last Note, In the Key of Dead, and The Hidden Track, where I combine my love of music with cozy mysteries, quirky characters, clever twists, and a little humor.

With The Ghost of Me, my first psychological thriller, I take a darker turn into fractured memories, buried secrets, and the unsettling question: What if you can’t trust your own mind?

When I’m not plotting fictional murders, I’m an active member of Sisters in Crime, the Florida Writers Association, and the South Florida Women’s National Book Association.

Whether cozy or dark, one thing is certain: someone always has a secret.
