I've been writing feverishly since I was 12, when I started a multi-part epic fantasy that I wrote by hand in journals for about five years. Things have changed a bit since then and despite many different jobs in the creative arts industries, writing has always been my passion and favorite way to pass the time.

I write contemporary, fantasy, and historical fiction and romance. I'm a sucker for adventure and swoony locales, small town cozy places that feel like home, and story lines that tug the heartstrings--while keeping you on your toes. I graduated with an M.A. in Fiction Writing from Johns Hopkins University. When I'm not writing, I'm chasing around my five young kids, homeschooling, baking, painting, photographing, and reading. I live outside Baltimore, Maryland with my husband, who indulges my crazy whims and puts up with my eccentricities.
