I've been a reader for as long as I can remember; the kind of person who always has a book within reach and a movie waiting in the queue. By day, I'm a compliance officer with a background in technology and healthcare. At night, I slip into the world of stories because that's where my creativity feels most at home. I still clock in for the 9-5, but the dream is to make writing my full-time life. When I'm not tangled up in a plot twist, you'll probably find me baking something sweet or kneading bread (I love bread a little too much), gaming, or spoiling my four-pawed kids. I share a cozy rural home with my amazing husband, and it's the perfect place to let my imagination run wild (just like the deer, squirrels, and birds do). I wrote my first play in fourth grade and never really stopped. These days, I write every single day, sometimes so much that I look up and realize I should've been asleep hours ago. I love creating characters who wrestle with big emotions, tough choices, and the occasional supernatural surprise. And yes, there's always a thread of love woven in. I'm a hopeless romantic; I can't help myself! My cast is as varied and unpredictable as the readers who meet them. If you're wondering what kinds of stories come out of all that late-night writing, well... that's the fun part! I'll let you discover that answer for yourself. Happy reading!
