Welcome!
I’m glad you found my site. If you’re like me, you probably love a good book. One that grabs you and holds you so that you’re so completely lost in the characters and the story that you’ve lost track of time.
Currently, I’m listening to domestic thrillers on audio and finding new excuses to walk the dog just so I can immerse myself in the story.
I’ve also just finished co-writing my first Victorian thriller, Some Dark Force, with my dear friend Victoria Olsen. It’ll be out this summer.
I hope you’ll sign up for my newsletter, where I’ll share more about books and writing and, yes, more about the dog, Henry.

But when Charlotte finds her landlord dead, her newfound connection with her students tests her loyalties—and puts her in the crosshairs of a killer.
