Meet the author

Hi! I love connecting with my readers!
I live for small town romances. All the swoon worthy tension, slow burn, and meet cringes. I fill my pages with laughter, tears, farm animals, and happily ever after's. I make my characters relatable, funny, and imperfect.I live in small town Pennsylvania with my husband, miniature dachshund, cat, and eighteen chickens. Hopefully adding some goats to my family soon. I love to write in the early morning or late at night with soundtracks in the background. When I'm not writing, you can find me reading in front of a warm fire, fishing, baking, or gardening.

Dear Reader,

Thank you for reading my books and for supporting my author dream.
I couldn’t do this without you. If you want to be the first to know about my new releases, writing progress, and more you can sign up for my newsletter below:
