Biography

I'm an author living close to Charleston, SC who writes romantasy (fantasy romance) with epic battles, forbidden love, closed doors, and open hearts. You can get to know some fun facts about me here. 

I'm a sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal geek that absolutely loves Star Trek and all types of fantasy and paranormal television and books. I also adore nostalgic television so much that I write it about it at The Television Time Capsule.

I also love historical movies and series such as When Calls the Heart, Downton Abbey, Love Comes Softly series, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Sense and Sensibility.

I love bingeing TV series, reading, learning new things, coffee, traveling, creating videos, laughing with my friends, and talking on the phone to my sister about all of our favorite movies and television.  

Because I enjoy helping authors, I created The Writer's Atlas, which is a publication that highlightsand shares paying markets, writing tools, publishing advice, and hidden discoveries to guide every stage of your writing journey.
