Welcome to my website!  I write contemporary middle grade stories from my home in historic Hudson, Ohio, a town that was part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.

When I’m not writing or reading, you can find me walking Cooper, my mini Goldendoodle, swimming laps, or spending time with my husband and two daughters.

I am represented by Danielle Smith of Red Fox Literary.
