My career began as a professional artist, teaching full-time at the college level and showcasing my art. With an undergraduate degree from Moore College of Art & Design and an MFA from Vermont College, I made a transition to the world of romance writing, a journey that continues to inspire me.

​

The Pawn by author Skye Warren was the first romance book that captured my heart, igniting a passion for writing romance that still burns within me.

​

Now, I wield words as my medium, using them to unveil universal truths and address the innate human desire for connection. Romance, in its transformative power, changes not only the characters within the story but also the reader. A well-crafted romance takes you on a journey, offering healing to both the author and the reader.

​

In 2021, romance writer Calia Wild (A.R. Case) selected me as a mentee for the Romance Writers of America mentorship program, RAMP. Then The Wild Rose Press, Scarlet Imprint, placed my novel, Truth Moon, under contract and released it in spring 2023. I also self-published a suspense novella, Hitman's Honey, and gothic novels, The Devil You Know and Leather Man, in 2023.

​

In 2024, I expanded The Devil Chronicles Series with the addition of The Devil I Love and embarked on a new venture with The Flower Queen, a suspense series that delves into historical romance set in the 20th century. I also ventured into the realm of romantasy, pushing the boundaries of familiar gothic themes with Other Worlds, the first book of the series set for release in September 2024.

 

Each of my books is a labor of love, crafted with hard-won happily ever-after's that involve spiritual journeys and transformations for my main characters. Other Worlds marks my seventh novel.

​

As a way of giving back to the romance community, I write a newsletter titled What Do Romance Writers Think About?, aiming to provide the same kind of support and encouragement that I've been fortunate to receive from fellow writers.
