I write small-town contemporary romance set on a New Jersey island resort. Even when the waters are rough, happy endings are a shore thing!
My favorite advice when I'm stuck in the first-draft self-doubt swamp is from my favorite fantasy author, Terry Pratchett.
"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."

When I was young, queer romance novels were unheard-of.
It's been profound and moving to watch them appear, by indie and tradpub writers, in bookshops and bestseller lists.
I'm humbled and grateful to join them with my own stories of women loving women happily ever after.

Whole mood: My “I turn coffee into books” mousepad has coffee stains ☕️😂
I love these slogans and deskspace merch, they put me in a good writing mood mood.
Now let's see if the coffee does what the mousepad says!

I didn't waste time making this in Canva.
I made it in Imgflip. 😇
