About
Award-winning author of sex-positive contemporary romance.
My debut novel, Up for Air, was a "Sexiest Consent" Winner in the 2021 Good Sex Awards, the 2021 Independent Press Award Romance Winner, and was a Finalist in Romance for the 2021 Maxy Awards and the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence® Awards.
My second novel, The Road Home, comes out in August 2021. And there are many more yet to come.
When not writing, I’m usually helping my husband with our never-ending home remodeling adventure or petting my robot cats while I sing along to Siouxsie and the Banshees.
