"Bio" aside, here's my deal: I live on 2.5 acres in sunny Jupiter, Florida. My hometown is best known for its beaches, estuary and beauty. I grew up here, but I've been just about everywhere. Around 14 years old (a billion years ago), I became obsessed with psychology and studied it deeply, completely on my own, outside of my schoolwork. I expressed myself through poetry, short stories and lengthy narratives and loved finding ways to tell stories and learn more about myself through books and movies. I believe storytelling has the power to change one's life and motivate a greater force inside of one that may not have been previously evident. I've been writing and journaling most of my life, and I do it every day whether or not I'm being paid. 

I homeschool two of my three children, and I've been married to the same handsome, wonderful man for sixteen years. We renewed our vows in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2023 and invited our entire family to witness it. I love creating moments of romance, passion and magic, and that shows up in my writing. My background in psychology helps develop my characters and determine what makes a person do just about anything. Most of my stories come to me while driving, or in my dreams. I dwell on them quite a while, then they pour out of me onto the page. I love writing completely uncensored, then ruthlessly editing my work. Nothing is precious. I'm always looking to get to the root of the story and tell the most interesting and important parts that create a meaningful experience for others.
