Meet the Author

Books are such a joy-the feel of them, the new worlds they open for me. I believe in the magic of storytelling. No matter my circumstances, I can open a book and find love, laughter, and a light to guide my way.

No matter the genre or age of the character, my novels are about women in crisis. I highlight a problem and offer possible solutions while celebrating the inner strength women sometimes forget they possess.

My second novel, Beyond the Quiet, is about a repressed woman in her forties, who, after her husband dies, finally learns to live. And my first, Ten Times Guilty, is a suspense about a young single mother learning her own value after a brutal attack. In my third novel, With Full Malice, scheduled for release in 2012, my character finds her strength after someone she loves is threatened.
