Bio
How I Got Here
It is true, I am a first time author, however, it has been a lifetime dream of mine to be a novelist. For the last decade I have worked in a corporate setting and last year I finally found the courage to take action and pursue a career as a novelist. I am a mother of three young daughters who I live for. As they grow, I want them to see me as someone who realized their dream and went all in, whether success or failure followed (obviously, I'm hoping for the former). I am hard working, driven, and committed to creating something that will be a success. My stories aim to be captivating, thought provoking, hilarious and heartbreaking all at once.
Projects
My Professional Journey
I am currently actively querying literary agencies for representation. As I continue to write and complete additional manuscripts I will also be researching other, non traditional venues for publishing. One way or another, my novels will become available for anyone who shares my love for Women's Fiction and Chick Lit to enjoy.
America's Boyfriend
Completed Manuscript, Awaiting Publication
This novel follows a single mother who has built her life around one hard-won rule: stay invisible. In a quiet lake town, anonymity means safety —until she ends up on the rented doorstep of Hollywood’s most beloved leading man, who is hiding out before filming his next romantic comedy. He is the last complication she needs: kind, charismatic, and unexpectedly genuine beneath the celebrity shine. Falling for him feels impossible. Resisting him may be even harder.

How to Run a Winery
Completed Manuscript, Awaiting Publication
This novel explores the concept of following your dreams and rediscovering yourself and love after loss. After unthinkable tragedy strikes, Grace finds that she inherited a winery. Not knowing anything about the business, she finds herself at an impasse between taking a chance on a life that was never supposed to be hers or selling and going back to the every day monotony of the life she built for herself. A novel that begs you to ask the question, what would you do with a second chance?
One More Thing
Completed Manuscript, Awaiting Publication
What would you do if you were told that you were dying? Where would you go? Who would you tell? One More Thing is a Women’s Fiction novel that explores many of life’s most complicated issues, including love, loss, grief, coming to terms with one’s own mortality, and finding light even in the darkest moments. It is a testament to how the unfailing strength of family and the bonds of motherhood can persevere under any circumstance.
The Meaning of Tulips

then you must write it.”
