When I left corporate work, in 2018, I immersed myself in writing novels and getting them published. Stories now flood my mind in multiple genres: historical fiction, women's fiction, YA fantasy, romantic suspense, and family sagas, with some psychological bents.

A native Arizonan, I traveled all over the US and ten other countries. My stories draw from personal experience, a fascination with history, and a love of research. When I'm not writing or editing, I am reading while my beloved cat looks on.
