About Me


Every story starts somewhere.

If you’re on the hunt for a new read, you’re in the right place.



I. Love. Stories.

Always have.

From bedtime tales my parents told me about their childhood (over and over again) to the Berenstain Bears, I lived to hear the next story.

So I guess it’s not surprising that I came up with my own stories and started putting them on paper as soon as I could write.

I carted notebooks with me to school and worked whenever I had the chance (some things don’t really change).

Later, I branched out into poetry and plays, but I always came back to stories.

Everything changed when I wrote my first novel as a challenge in 2009.

Not only was it a novel, but it was also a mystery (actually, it’s what became The Jester’s Apprentice). I was hooked, and immediately dove into my first official book, Dead Locked.

Since then, novel writing has grown from one challenge into three series and beyond.

When I’m not getting my protagonists into trouble, you may find me baking tasty desserts, watching movies or documentaries, or dancing around to my favorite tunes.

My life is not nearly as exciting as in my books and I’m kinda okay with that!


New to my books?

The Belinda & Bennett Mysteries follows the misadventures of an accidental amateur sleuth and her savvy boyfriend. (Because there’s rarely a dull moment in Portside.)

Royal Ties introduces new heroines and hunks in fabulously royal settings. (Because what woman doesn’t fancy wearing a tiara?)

In The Birthright, Rosamund Brandt goes head-to-head with her growing powers and family secrets. (Because you can’t choose your ancestry.)
