My writing journey began the day my chiropractor asked, “Have you considered you might have multiple sclerosis?” Those few words changed everything.

Before MS, I was a dancer, a horseback rider, and a creator who filled her world with music and art. When illness slowly took those joys away, I turned to writing a new way to express beauty, emotion, and strength. That was the beginning of my path as a storyteller and, eventually, as an inspirational fiction author.

Living with multiple sclerosis has given me a deeper connection to resilience, gratitude, and hope. Through my books, I explore the power of courage, healing, and self-discovery, blending fantasy, time-travel romance, emotional adventure, and women’s fiction. My stories often follow women who rise from adversity, discover their inner strength, and find love and meaning in unexpected places.

My debut time-travel fantasy series invites readers into a world where the past and present intertwine where magic meets destiny, and where even in the face of challenges, the human spirit always finds a way to rise. One of my most meaningful inspirations came from real events, such as when the Oso landslide hit in Western Washington, a powerful reminder of life’s fragility, strength, and the hope that follows tragedy.

Today, writing is my constant companion, my creative escape and my way of turning struggle into inspiration. Through every page, I aim to uplift and connect with readers who believe in hope, resilience, second chances, and the extraordinary within the ordinary.

If ever my words come close to real events, I hope readers will forgive me any misrepresentation of the real Oso landslide, as my intention is always to honor courage, compassion, and the beauty of human endurance.

Join me on this journey and discover stories that celebrate courage, imagination, and transformation tales that remind us that no matter how far we fall, there’s always a way to begin again.
