As a reader and a storyteller, I am irresistibly drawn to more mature characters. Though they often carry the fears, insecurities, and traumas from their younger years, they tend to do so with humor and panache!

They bumble along until life forces them to deal with their brokenness in the midst of parenting, building a career, looking after aging parents, and starting or mending a romantic relationship.

Here is where I write my stories.

Stories where physical intimacy reflects emotional intimacy and healing. Stories of sisterhood that celebrate family and chosen family. Soul-stirring stories that take you on an emotional journey, one where you might easily recognize yourself or someone you love.

As in the real world, there are no easy answers. But their hard-won HEAs will make your heart happy.

At home, I am outnumbered by one husband, four kids, a dog, a cat, and plumbing issues that never quit. You can most often find me curled up on my front porch, earbuds in, music cranked up, with my nose stuck in a book. Honestly, I'm most often hiding from my favorite people in the world who require far too many meals. When I'm really lucky, my husband, who is without a doubt the hero in my very own love story, is hiding with me.
