About

I was born in California and lived in 4 more states before settling recently in the Tampa, FL area with my husband and kids. 
I went to grad school in pennsylvania for Physician Assistant Studies and worked in the ER for most of my career, but I spent my last year working with some wonderful folks in Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery. 

I’m now a full time mom (two boys) and writer. My kids are awesome and we spend our summers at the beach and exploring the Florida jungles. I love running in the wee early hours when it’s still dark and quiet while listening to audiobooks. Last year I read 59 books this way and I’m hoping to beat that this year.

Our dog, Corduroy, has noodles for bones and loves everyone–except squirrels, he’s at war with them (they’re winning). You can see lots of cute photos of his truly bizarre sleeping positions here.

Romantic Fantasy | 118,000 Words | Querying

Determined to save her late-father’s estate, a young woman flaunts the (literal) gold skin she loathes to win the Crown Prince’s favor, but also snags the attention of a dangerously alluring rebel leader—and the wyverns that hunt her kind to fuel their fiery breath.

Then again, maybe her cruel kingdom deserves to burn
…and she can spark the blaze.

WYVERNFIRE is a 118,000-word Adult Romantic Fantasy that will appeal to anyone who wished Neftlix’s Bridgerton had dragons, as well as fans of Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series’s premise and thees, but with the tone and romance of Broadbent’s Daughter of No Worlds and Jensen’s A Fate Inked in Blood meets Hartman’s Seraphina.
