About Me

I’m a 2x HOLT Award-Winning Author (2023- Best First Book, No Regrets; 2025 Best Short Contemporary, No Excuses) and a firm believer in happily-ever-afters, finding your joy, and making the most of every single moment.

My motto is: Reading romance doesn’t give us unrealistic expectations. It shows us how to demand the love story we deserve.

I think we all deserve the grace to follow our dreams! As a young, single mom I was discouraged from pursuing a writing career and didn’t pick up a pen again until I turned fifty in the middle of the pandemic. I try to craft stories with resilient heroines and cinnamon roll heroes, and pull from my own experiences, my legal background and my love of history. I want to be known as an author whose stories of steam and emotion resonate with readers.
