About the Author

Writing was always the one thing I did for myself.

For years, I was terrified to share my work with anyone. Writing was personal, and the thought of putting my stories out into the world—and opening myself up to judgment—felt impossible.

Everything changed when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. One of her final wishes was to see my name in print. Because of her, I finally found the courage to share my stories.

The first story I put on paper was Chad’s story in Summer Love, Autumn Goodbye. Writing about the suicide of someone so much like a person I had loved and lost wasn’t easy, but it was important. I wanted readers to understand that suicide doesn’t just affect the person who is gone—it changes the lives of everyone left behind.

From there, I met Aurora in Self Inflicted. What began as a single novel grew into a larger story exploring self-harm, grief, trauma, healing, and the difficult journey toward self-worth.

While my books span different genres—from contemporary young adult fiction to adult romantasy—they all share one thing in common: real people facing real struggles. Through my writing, I’ve come to realize that stories can do more than entertain. They can help people feel seen. They can start conversations. They can remind someone that they aren’t facing life’s challenges alone.

That belief became the foundation of my #YouAreNotAlone message. As the parent of a transgender child, I also became passionate about LGBTQ+ representation and telling stories that reflect experiences many readers don’t often see on the page.

When I’m not writing, I’m a mom of four and heavily involved in children’s theater, where I spend countless hours supporting young performers and helping bring stories to life in a different way.

I love connecting with readers, discussing books, and hearing how stories have impacted their lives. After all, the reason I write is simple:

You Are Not Alone.
