About Me

I write contemporary and fantasy romance and love reading nail-biting tales with a satisfying happily ever after. When not dreaming up stories, I enjoy playing with new bread recipes and dabbling with paints.

I’m a member of New Jersey Romance Writers, where I have served on the Board. I’m also a Pro member of Romance Writers of America, and the Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal, Celtic Hearts, and ESPAN Chapters of RWA, Liberty States Fiction Writers, and Romance Divas.

I've been dreaming up stories all my life.

I enjoy the challenge of National Novel Writing Month and have won each of the last seven years.

Born in New Jersey and raised in Southern California, I’ve had a life-long love of the desert and going down the shore. I now live in New Jersey with my wonderfully patient husband and three extremely spoiled cats. As a teacher, I love encouraging new readers and writers as they discover their growing abilities. My class cheers when it’s time for their spelling test!
