Broken, broody, mysterious, swoony, inclusive; those are my tropes. It’s my grandmother’s fault! Alice Lee bribed me to read with a Nancy Drew box set—and changed my life forever. Love at first binge read. By the time high school rolled around I’d already discovered romantic suspense and gothic romance, and I’ve never looked back. What can I say? My love of mystery and suspense started early and runs deep. Is there anything better than a character who by the end of the story manages to redeem/heal themselves enough to fall in love? No, there isn’t. Fast forward to 2017 when, with a shaky finger, I pressed the Publish button for the first time. I’ve never regretted it. I love writing and telling stories that others enjoy, it’s a dream come true. What else? I love both cats and dogs. Star Wars and Star Trek. Pineapple on pizza, and have a cribbage habit my husband encourages. We live in a log cabin near Hood Canal in Washington State, if the sky is clear at night the milky way is visible. But most often I’m inside devouring yet another book!
