Ransom Road

2021

My husband was everything I wanted in a partner. Then his business took off and we had Rosie—the most colic-y baby our pediatrician had ever met. Shadows from my past crept closer. So I locked us away, safe inside the gates of our island home. Or so I thought. I knew it was a bad idea to let anyone in, but I needed help. And Nanny Bexley was a dream come true: an excellent resume and tons of energy. But just one week after she came into our lives, the dream turned into a nightmare. And there was no one I could trust. If I wanted to see my daughter again, I would need to step outside and find her myself. Welcome to Liar’s Island… a stand-alone series of interconnected, novella length domestic thrillers set in the picture-perfect community of Liars Island. Here, nothing is quite as it seems. On this island, families and friendships are more than meets the eye … secrets, deceptions, and jealousies threaten to ruin everything these influential people have built. But it isn’t only the rich that live here … and power comes in all shapes and sizes. Everyone here is a liar … just how far would you go to get what you want?

Panic Pond

2021

The people of Liar’s Island like it quiet, and like to keep their secrets. The problem is that some of those secrets are very, very dirty... Detective Amber Smith of Liar’s Island PD knows uncovering the resident’s dirty secrets and ensuring those behind them see justice isn’t easy. The insular, secretive inhabitants of the island don’t like spilling what they know. Lucky for Amber, she’s a master of disguise. Her latest undercover job: a night attendant at Kelley’s Gas Station, where her eccentric friend Ray Kelley has suffered a break-in that has cost him several thousand dollars in theft and damages. While evidence points to an inside job, the locals are convinced that one of the island’s troublemakers—or former troublemakers—is to blame. Missing security recordings and a laundry list of suspects—from disgruntled employees, hellraising teens, and even Ray himself—weave a tangled, mysterious web for Amber to unravel. Despite the grand island tradition of constantly hiding or muddling the truth, Amber is intent on getting to the heart of this mystery without getting stuck in island dramatics. If she gets it wrong, an innocent person will have their life ruined. But if she gets it right, she may end up losing one of her best friends on the island.

I'm just a simple small town country girl, haunted by Alpha Men who talk in my head 24 hours a day. I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them. Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people. Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there. Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books. Want to keep up with me?
