I'm a Midwestern native in love with my neck of the woods. Rolling hills, cornfields and a slower pace of living serve as the perfect backdrop for writing small town, second chance romances. My stories are based in small towns but I hope you see a bit of yourselves in them, wherever you may be. I write mostly characters in their late thirties and early- to mid-forties because I feel like that’s when things get really, really tricky. I love writing this demographic because by our thirties and forties, we’ve most likely seen some major turmoil and our affections are harder won. We’ve seen new love and maybe watched it crumble. Maybe we’ve had earth-shattering loss and our hearts have hardened a little. We’re tougher to crack, but the payoff is that much sweeter. We have had careers, lovers, maybe children, and now, just when we think we have it all figured out, something throws a monkey wrench in the works and we’ve got to rise to the top, again.
