I am the author of 2 books, The M.O.M Club: Raising kids and Raising Hell and The Sugar and The Shadow. My journey as a writer began when I was just 14, tucked away in my room, filling notebooks with stories that took me far beyond the small town where I grew up. My characters were a reflection of the people I saw around me, and I quickly learned that the most compelling stories were the ones that captured the messiness and beauty of real life.

That's why I write for all types of readers, from different backgrounds and walks of life. I believe the best books are a window into the human experience, and I strive to create characters who are flawed, relatable, and authentic. They face challenges that we all do—love, loss, and the search for belonging—and they navigate them with a mix of strength and vulnerability.

As a versatile writer, I'm drawn to stories that explore both the light and shadow of our world. I believe it's important to show the good and the bad side of life, because without the shadow, the sunshine at the end of the rainbow wouldn't feel as bright. It’s that hope and resilience that I want my readers to carry with them long after they've finished the final page. Thank you for taking a chance on my words and joining me on this journey.
