About Me

I spent my early years wanting to be an English countryside vet (à la James Herriot) and an adventure-seeking archaeologist (à la Indiana Jones). After studying biochemistry and earning an anthropology degree, I realized that my true passion is for writing fictional stories about smart, adventurous women and the men who are strong enough to love them.

I write in multiple fiction genres including historical romance with paranormal elements, urban fantasy, and women’s fiction.

I live in Maryland with my real-life hero/husband, talented musician daughter, and many, many rescued cats.

My novel “Taste of Liberty” is available NOW! Click the image below to get your copy!
