I've lived in Southern California my whole life, but let's not talk about age. Unlike some authors I didn't fall in love with books until I was in my late twenties. That's when I decided to teach myself how to read and write beyond a fourth grade level. Then in 2021 after years of on and off reading my husband encouraged me to, "Stop reading other peoples' books and try to write your own." So that's what I did. I've always been told I have a great imagination and I'm a good storyteller. All my books will talk about mental health since I have bipolar and I know this field from first hand experience. -

Formerly an academic, I took up writing romance recently and quite by accident. In early 2022 the right elements conjoined—my love of villains, my taste for high comedy, and my pull towards strong women. Now I can’t stop cooking up plots and drawing new characters. Though I write mostly dark romance, I invariably weave plenty of reality into the fantasy. My preference for lone wolves, quirky characters, and intense plot results in what my reader and author friends call romance with teeth. I live in Berkeley, California with my dachshund-Chihuahua, Pooh-bah. When I’m not writing, I love traveling, cooking, playing piano, and cycling in the nearby hills.
