About

I am a former elementary school teacher and elementary librarian which is just about the perfect job for an author! I now teach creative writing to students around the world.

 

In 2012 my debut picture book was released by Bronze Man Books. AM I LIKE MY DADDY? follows the journey of a child who seeks to learn if she is anything like the dad who died when she was young.

My middle grade novel, CONFESSIONS OF A CORN KID, was released direct to kindle in 2013 and is also available in paperback.

It helps that I am married to a veterinarian as he was the co-author of my children’s book series, BE THE VET. There are now three books in this best-selling series which has sold over 11,000 copies.

In 2013 and 2014 I released two upper YA romance series: THE LEXIE AND RHETT CHRONICLES featuring PROM FOR ONE, GRADUATION FOR TWO, AND TEST FOR THREE. The TO KNOW ME series includes TO KNOW ME, TO LOVE ME, TO FORGIVE ME, AND TO CHOOSE ME. They are also available as a box set and are available in paperback.

Since then I have published another upper YA romance mystery series: FINDING REESE, a three book trilogy along with several short stories.

 

My first adult novel, THE SECRET OF BLUE LAKE, was released in 2023. That makes 30 books! I love the process, and I love and appreciate my fans. Thank you.

I am a great eavesdropper and person profiler which proves a fabulous advantage for a writer. As my favorite shirt says, Be careful or you’ll end up in my novel.
