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:
