I'm a person OBSESSED! I love light, color, sound, how together they all tell a story, either by pen or pixels I strive to capture it all.

About the author
I love a good story, in all artforms. I have been a professional photographer for nearly 20 years and I had to learn to tell a story with a click of a button and capture the layers of emotion in a single image. Little did I know it was boot camp for writing.
Being an author was a childhood dream and as I got older it seemed to be a dream that grew further out of reach with each passing year. But with encouragement from a lot of friends, new and old, my husband being my biggest cheerleader, The Evolutionaries series has begun with Power Divided.
To keep me company during my writing bubbles are my husband and our fur babies. They love whatever I write, even if they can't read it but they don't always love the music I write to. We all have to make sacrifices! And I am still pinching myself ever since I found out, that,recently I became a Featured Author. Power Divided is in the Feb 15th Issue of Kirkus Magazine. I had to email her the next day to be sure I didn't make it up or that she called the wrong person. To which she replied, "It's definitely you, and you should be proud."
In one year I went from being a person who felt out of my depth at the daunting task of putting together a novel, to having one of the most respected institutions of book reviews, say the story I had written, that Power Divided was:
"A notable and thoughtful addition to the crowded shelf of post-apocalyptic YA novels."
"This first volume in the Evolutionaries series skillfully balances intriguing worldbuilding, whose details are slowly revealed, with well-paced action sequences. It also ably handles Violet’s character development along the way while also offering a diverse, lovable supporting cast whose members become the protagonist’s close friends and allies. The novel effectively addresses themes of cooperation and isolationism as well as autonomy, consent, and moving on with one’s life after learning of long-held secrets. " - Kirkus Review
