I write love stories about second chances at love, set in the past and present. My romance sub genres include historical, time travel, and  contemporary closed door. I have been awarded the Georgia Author of the Year Award in the historical category twice (2024 and 2019).

 

​I earned my English literature degree from the University of Georgia and MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University. I am a member of the Atlanta Writers Club and the Georgia Romance Writers.

​

When I am not writing, I'm reading the latest cozy mystery, taking nature walks, supporting charities, and watching BBC television. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our two grown daughters and their families and totally spoiling our two grandsons and four grand-dogs.

 

I am on the advisory board of The Feeney Legacy Project and support its mission to advocate calling 911 and administering CPR to save lives of anyone in medical distress. Visit the website feeneylegacyproject.org to learn more about this non-profit charity and how you can be involved in saving lives.

​

My newest release is a time travel fantasy A TRYST IN PARIS. It has been selected as a 2024 Georgia Romance Writers Maggies Finalist, a Killer Nashville Top Pick, a Romance Writers of America Romance Through the Ages Finalist, and Georgia Author of the Year romance category finalist.

​

My debut historical romance is a Southern Gothic paranormal romance  DANGEROUS CONJURINGS , set in the aftermath of the American Civil War. 

​

WITH KISSES FROM CÉCILE, co-authored with Jan Agnello  was awarded the 2020 Georgia Independent Author of the Year Award in historical fiction and the Silver Award from Literary Titan.

​

My debut sweet contemporary romance is

A CHRISTMAS CANNOLI KISS, part of The Wild Rose Press Christmas Cookies Series.

​

​My work-in-progress is a contemporary Christmas romance (tentatively titled MISTLETOE TO THE RESCUE). I'm also working on my first-ever cozy mystery, RUM FOR YOUR LIFE.
