I write romance and horror. Not together.
I was that weirdo kid with a notebook tucked under her arm, who started writing thrillers at age 8, fantasy at 11 (if you’re wondering, I was always the princess), horror at 13, and romance through all of it.
My first publication outside of my personal blog was a nasty little horror short called “You Are What You Eat,” produced by the Creepy Podcast on 11/19/23. Definitely DON’T read or listen to that story while eating.
As of 2026, I have 12 horror podcast production credits between Creepy and the NoSleep Podcast.
If horror was my first love, romance is my HEA (Happily Ever After for those new to the genre’s many acronyms!), giving new meaning to another genre term: Why Choose?
My debut romance series Forever Youngs - First Ride & Second Home release together on 7/14/26.
The final series installment Third Wheel is in the works.
I also occasionally blog, though sharing the details of my personal journey with a debilitating brain condition (see Chiari hub; if you have one, that section is all for you), weight struggles, and trauma healing feels like a distant memory. Those blogs are me and…not.
That woman was me…
But not anymore.
