About Me
I love dancing, writing, astronomy, and grapes. By day (like for money) I work on weather satellites for NOAA. The rest of my time is filled with writing novels, playing songs on my ukulele, choreographing shows at local community theaters, and vacuuming cat hair. My motto in life is 'I can be everything I want, just not all at the same time.'

I write steamy, contemporary, comedy romance novels featuring down-to-Earth characters who find love and escape toxic work environments. I'm a nerdy former astronomer, and love folding my STEM knowledge into my writing.
My novels are available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. My novellas and short stories are free with newsletter sign-up.
