I was born near Detroit, but I found my true sense of home in Lake City, Michigan, where childhood summers spent exploring the forest and the shores of Lake Missaukee quietly shaped my love of story. Those early memories stayed with me for years and eventually inspired Marooned in 1799, a time travel novel that lived in my imagination long before I ever put it on paper.
Today, I write both time-travel adventures and heartfelt romances rooted in small-town Florida, where community, connection, and second chances take center stage.
I hope you enjoy my books as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
