I confess, I’m a want-to-be-adventurer. I love the thrill of something new, but crave the security of knowing that everything will turn out okay in the end. So you'll always find happy resolutions in my stories.

My characters are strong, independent women who have dreams and goals, but face the same real-life uncertainty and issues we do–miscommunications in our relationships, mismatched expectations, trying to balance family and work, all while trying to enjoy life. I’ve dropped these characters into interesting scenarios where, with determination, they prevail, learn, and grow.
