Why I write

So much sex. Not enough substance.

I kept finding romance with so much sex and not enough substance. I’d end up horny and unfulfilled, without the true hope of love.

So I write the story I was looking for. I want the story and the partner to stimulate you emotionally, physically, and mentally. I want real-world, real-life experiences on the page, to the point where you can say, “I learned to handle that from this book.”

My women are strong, smart, and well off. They know who they are. My reader does too. She’s a lover and a hopeful romantic. She knows it’s a story, and she knows it could be her love story too.

Expect a rollercoaster. Expect to walk away empowered.

Start here

Journeys of the Heart

Every woman in this circle has a version of the truth. Six friends from Ember Ridge High’s Class of 2005 take a girls’ trip to Turks and Caicos, and it changes all of their lives. Read it free, or order the paperback for your shelf.

Why readers fall in

Emotionally. Physically. Mentally.

01

Emotionally

Sisterhood carries every book. When one of them falls apart, the rest of the circle shows up for her.

02

Physically

The heat is on the page, and it’s grown. It means something because the love is real.

03

Mentally

Military life, recovery, grief, motherhood, and faith are all on the page. You’ll close the book knowing how to handle a thing or two.

The world they come home to

Ember Ridge, North Carolina
