Welcome! Thanks for dropping by. Let me introduce myself, tell you about the books, and invite you to stay in touch.

Here’s a little about me and the books:

These stories are filled with friendship, romance, suspense, holidays, furry friends, nature, art, food, cooking, baking and—did I mention food twice? 🤣 I love food, although I doubt I qualify as a “foodie”. But, I can trace my family back to a bakery in Germany in the 1700s. My great grandfather came to this country and started life in America raising his family above his bakery. I guess I come by my love of baking naturally.

I’ve always enjoyed escaping into story and worked my way through college in a library. I brought home stacks of all kinds of books. It was wonderful! (Perhaps I could’ve been studying more…)

My master’s degree is in math and science education and I have been writing, making art, and teaching for most of my life. Inspired by my tech nerd husband who gardens, and my son who’s blind, I often create brainy characters whose work connects to the arts, technology, or science—people who overcome challenging obstacles, deal with the unexpected, and create the life they want.

My visually impaired son and his friends who are blind, or have other challenges, help me portray individuals with disabilities more accurately. It’s always my intention to be respectful and compassionate.

When I’m not hanging out with stories, making art, or coaching, I’m enjoying the sweet breezes of Florida or hiking in the forests in North Carolina with my bossy dog.

I invite you to take a virtual vacation through stories at the intersection of romance, women’s fiction and suspense.
