I've loved romance novels since I was a teenager.  I spent my summers immersed in worlds created by Virginia Henley, Judith McKnight, and Bertrice Small.  But it wasn't until I picked up a book by Nora Roberts did I know that I wanted to write my own stories.  Her ability to pull me into a contemporary romance story, often with a fun supernatural component inspired me to try my hand at writing.  My first novel, Have a Little Faith, is a labor of love that is inspired by a cowboy I knew once upon a time.  

 

In addition to novels, I am a playwright and a blogger based out of Seattle, Washington.  An alumni of the University of Washington School of Drama, my degree is in acting and my blog is a review blog of local Seattle theatre.  I hope to branh out in 2016 to review shows in both Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, BC, as well as get this play of mine produced! 

 

When I'm not writing, I spend my free time enjoying the amazing restaurants of Seattle, yoga or krav maga, and seeing all kinds of performing arts with friends.  And from September to December, every Saturday you'll find me in Husky Stadium cheering on the University of Washington football team.  GO DAWGS!!  

 

I also try to get to the pacific coast as often as possible, Cannon Beach being my favorite destintation.  Look for that location to appear in a future novel!
