Welcome, Readers!

I am so grateful for your interest in my work. Sometimes I still can’t believe I have five published novels! There is a part of me who will always be a student waiting to write a better story or novel. That’s why I love encouraging other writers and connecting to readers.

Thank you so much for stopping by. While you’re here, please explore the rest of the site to learn more about my books, life, and other information that you might find interesting.
