Welcome!

As an award-winning aspiring writer I’m taking the first big step—putting myself out into cyberspace. I thought a website would be a great way for me to interact with readers and other writers.

A bit about my writing: I write both contemporary and young adult romance/fiction. I’ve also written Western historical romance.

My contemporary romances center on home and family. I’m a sucker for a small town setting, and my books often feature reunion stories. There’s something so great about lovers reunited. I think we all have a story about the one who got away. I also enjoy writing stories about redemption. Who doesn’t love the hero or heroine with a dark side and a deep need to make things right?

A new favorite for me is the young adult novel. I’ve always been a big fan of young adult romance. I read Stephenie Meyer, Sarah Dessen, P.C. Cast, and many more. I’m attracted to stories of first love and even first heartbreak. In addition to these more traditional books, I also have a great love of urban fantasy and am currently working on an idea for an edgier young adult series.

I’m glad you stopped by. Come by often. Feel free to check out the links for a synopsis of my contemporary and young adult books. Watch for updates, and watch my website and career grow!
