Welcome to my website!
​
Hope you enjoy your stay here and that you'll come back often for a visit to see what I've been up to on my wild author's ride.
​
My path to creative writing is unusual. One might say I'm a late-bloomer. Just shows we never know what directions our lives may take. I fell in love with writing and can't stop.

"The novel is narrated by Claire, a plucky, smart-mouthed adolescent. She is a wonderful creation, a resolute fighter, not only for Harry, but also for her mother, whom she has good reason to hate."
~Kirkus Reviews
"With a dynamic plot, a slow-simmer romance, and an ending worth waiting for, Complicated Choices is a brilliant contemporary young adult novel that lives up to its name."
