Welcome to my writing website. I write both romantic
fiction and mainstream fiction. In 2010, I was chosen as one of ten writers to compete in the semi-finals
of publisher Mills & Boon's New Voices contest with my unpublished romance, WINDSONG. I didn't win the
competition, but considering there were over six hundred manuscripts entered at the start, that the editors selected my novel
to be one of ten to advance to the semi-finals was quite encouraging.
I've been fortunate to have three short stories published. My
dark humor piece, "Barn Owl", was published in the anthology NIGHTBIRD SINGING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT; my romantic short story, "Peach-Flavored Kiss," was published in the December 28, 2009 issue of Woman's World
magazine; and my quacky...er, I mean quirky little story titled "Good, Gone Wrong" was published in the Winter 2012 issue
of Mused, Bella Online Literary review (free to read at http://www.bellaonline.com/review/issues/winter2012/)
I have finished four novels and am working on three others. My
hope is you will someday be able to read my novels in their entirety, but until they're published you're welcome
to read my first chapters by clicking on any of my homemade book covers.
