A Little About Me

I love the San Francisco Bay Area home. And because of my love for the Bay Area, I feature San Francisco as the backdrop for my novels except for Not a Planned Affair, which took place in Napa, CA.


I wrote my first chapter book at twelve during summer vacation. I have always had a great imagination and put those creative thoughts on paper. That one story began my passion for writing. I still have the handwritten copy tucked away for safekeeping, along with all the poems and short stories I wrote as a child.

After I finished writing my first novel as an adult, my mom suggested I publish it. That was something I never thought I would actually do. However, I wanted a hard copy of my story for my family and friends, so I searched for a publishing company. Anyway, I chose a company and route that was totally wrong for me. After a few years with that publisher, I bought out my contract, decided to self-publish, and here we are today. It is my best decision for my book babies, allowing me to introduce my stories to the world. And yes, they are my stories because certain situations in each novel were derived from some event in my life, although I always put a twist on it.

The central themes of my novels revolve around family. I find families fascinating, especially when you uncover the layers of secrets. And what’s a story without a bit of romance sprinkled into the pages?

I am an all-inclusive author, meaning I believe love is love. Therefore, I write about all forms of love. My characters have decided to share their private life with you, my reader.

I invite you to cozy up with one of my novels and escape into a world of discovery. I hope you enjoy the characters as they uncover the hidden truth while possibly finding love.

Happy Reading,
