I write about heroines who are worth admiring. They are intelligent, resourceful, and capable of making well-considered decisions, even in the most challenging circumstances. They are often underestimated because they do not seek attention, and sometimes they deliberately hide their intellect—whether for safety or because of secrets that must remain undisclosed.

My heroines do not throw themselves into the arms of the first man they meet, nor do they seek approval. They are not always stunning beauties who immediately captivate with their looks. But those who take the time to look closer understand: the true strength of these women lies in their minds and their ability to shape the world around them.
