Overview
We all have a story inside us. Some of us have more than one! We don’t all have the time and patience to get the entire thing on paper, though. That’s where I can help.
I’m an award-winning author and creative writing teacher. I’ve written in multiple genres including romantic comedy, romantic suspense, urban fantasy, psychological thriller, middle grade, young adult, and cozy mystery including two cozy mystery series written under pen names for New York publishing houses. As a teacher, I’ve become skilled at helping others find their voices. Let me help you find yours as we take your story from concept or outline to finished novel.
Here’s what reviewers have had to say about my writing:
" A strong and sassy heroine shines in this exciting, sexy, and hilarious debut."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"... a hard-to-put-down psychological thriller that also offers a nuanced look at a damaged woman."
- Library Journal (starred review)
"... sweet, heartwarming and hilarious, and the characters jump off the page."

"Cozy fans will find all the right ingredients for a satisfying series.”

Whether your story is sweet, sexy, suspenseful, or sassy, I've got the skills to bring it to life.
