I'm new to the author world and write steamy romance novellas. I have always loved the idea of happy endings, but with real life drama. I'm a native of North Carolina and have always loved the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Hiking is one of my favorite hobbies as it helps to clear my mind and allow my imagination to roam freely. I'm an avid reader of all genres. I love traveling, especially to small communities, as the people are always so nice and welcoming, with hidden gems in their sweet little towns.
