As a lifetime reader and evolving writer, I have always enjoyed fiction that left me wishing there was more to read, made me long for a sequel, or kept me thinking about its intricacies long after I turned the last page. My purpose in writing is to provide for an audience who appreciates plot twists, intrigue, and intelligent dialogue, which I have crafted to carry them to a surprising and satisfying final chapter.

I have been an educator and library director for over 30 years, but I have been a plot junkie my entire life. I value any medium that keeps me guessing and/or thinking throughout any novel, short story, poetry, movie, and the like. This sentiment accurately describes my style of writing.

I live in Saint Charles, Illinois, with my husband, Kyle, and dogs, Hendrix and Janis. We have two grown children: Mitchell (26) and Madelynn (22).
