& I write swoony, relatable love stories.

Books. Brownies. Bananagrams.

I'm a wife, a mom to two rescue pups and two teenage kids (who all think I'm their personal snack dispenser), and a writer who spends way too much time thinking about fictional people. 

I live in Minnesota, drink way too much coffee, and keep pretending I'm actually going to meal plan this week.

(Spoiler: I won't.)

I’ve loved writing my entire life, and these days write women's fiction with love stories baked right in. My books feature women who are figuring their lives out—second chances, small towns, awkward moments, and the messy work of rebuilding yourself when everything goes sideways.

The romance is always there. But it's not the only thing. My characters are dealing with real life stuff—grief, identity, family, what they actually want out of life.

The love story happens while they're figuring all that out.

(And if you also happen to love tacos, word games, & iced coffee… I’ve saved you a seat.)
