Hey friends! I’m taking a little break to focus on some exciting projects that have been buzzing around in my brain! Right now, I’m deep into The Hen House Mysteries, turning Insatiable into a full-blown trilogy (yes, it's happening!), and dreaming up not one but two more trilogies—Leftover Food and The Ashen Crown. The ideas just keep coming, and I can’t wait to see where they take me!
Some of the characters I’ve created in my Reedsy short stories have totally stolen my heart, and I’d love to give them their own spotlight in full-length books. They deserve their own adventures, and I’m excited to make that happen. Elodie Sharp, Brynn Star, Lester Crumb, Morgan Finch, Santa's son, and Nick Hardwick all need to have their stories expanded (in my opinion) And what in the heck has been happening with Solstice??
This definitely isn’t a goodbye—I’ll be back! I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s read my stories, left comments, or cheered me on. Putting your writing out there can be scary, but you all have made it such a joyful and encouraging experience. Seriously, you’re the best. Much love and read you soon! 💛

Happily tethered to my soulmate for 21 years—two decades and change of love, laughter, and the occasional ridiculous inside joke that could crack the cosmos wide open. Our house hums with life, not just from my 87-year-young mother, who glows with the kind of warmth and wisdom only a human time machine can emit, but also from the furry and feathered chaos that claims me as their own.
Three chihuahuas—each convinced they’re ten feet tall—a pit bull with a philosopher’s soul, a mildly judgmental cat, a turtle who moves at their own meditative pace, and a flock of chickens living in a mansion that puts my first apartment to shame. The woodland creatures stop by, too, bribed into loyalty by food I dish out like a benevolent cult leader.
For 18 years, I’ve been a card-carrying vegan and lover of all things with hearts that beat and eyes that beg for snacks.
Baking is where my mind quiets, where sugar, flour, and the perfect rise bring me peace. My family and this lovable, chaotic circus make my soul hum a tune that never gets old. And writing—writing is the fire that keeps me up at night, the passion that refuses to be ignored, no matter how full the house (or my cookie jar) may be.
If you’re interested in raising chickens holistically, I’ve got just the resource for you! 😉 I wrote and published The Herbal Henhouse: Nurturing Your Chickens With Nature's Remedies, a 476-page guide packed with herbal knowledge and recipes I’ve personally created and use with my own flock. 🐓🌿 It’s perfect for anyone looking to care for their feathered friends naturally.
