A Canadian married to a magician-in-the-kitchen (which is good because I struggle with toast), books have always been my favorite place to hang out. I'm fond of nautical history, creamy coffee, and flannel sheets, although maybe not so much the latter now that we live on the Mediterranean coast. Turkey is hot. Moving on.
Why write? I can’t not write. I just don’t feel right when I don’t write. I have more fun inside my head than I do in the real world. I believe that life is storytelling. Whether it’s on stage, screen, page, or just a chat over a coffee with a friend, we learn through the stories we consume and the stories we share. My head has always been full of stories, and when there are a lot of characters bumping elbows in your brain, the only remedy is to get them down on paper and into someone else’s head.
Young women characters are fun to write because they’re complicated and sometimes they do weird stuff. I should know, I was a young woman once. Readers tell me they enjoy my strong female protagonists and unexpected twists, so I must be doing something right.
My goal is to create mesmerizing stories of elemental transformation, adventure, friendship, and love. I write what I enjoy reading, so my books are cuss-free and low-steam. My aim is life-like characters you’ll fall in love with and well-crafted plots that keep you turning pages late into the night.

Note: the bestselling Elemental Origins Series can be read out of order, but if you want to read in the order they were written, they are listed under that tab chronologically. Born of Water is the 2018 Readers' Favorite winner in the Young Adult Fantasy category.
