I write women’s upmarket and historical fiction. As a former retail executive specializing in e-commerce, for years I’ve channeled my story-telling passion into writing thousands of words in the form of published articles, white papers, website and social media content, marketing materials, documentation, and blog posts. My degree led me through a long and successful career in retail. It allowed me to travel the world to over 22 countries to create and find products, providing a first-row seat to meet and work with thousands of people from all stations in life. I’ve experienced all the highs and lows of demanding leadership roles and in all of that busyness of a career and raising a family, I was never able to find the space and time to treat writing as my professional focus. I began writing my first novel over eleven years ago, often while stuck in an airport or late at night, finally able to pursue becoming a serious writer in early 2022. Though I've lived in New York City and rural Ohio, the majority of my life travels have brought me home to Texas where I live with my husband, cavapoo puppy, and two grown daughters nearby.
