Stories have always been where I feel most at home.
From crafting simple tales as a young girl to writing the layered romances I create today, storytelling has shaped every chapter of my life.

I just picked up Hidden by Laura Griffin, the first book in her Texas Murder Files series. Griffin is well-known for writing gripping romantic suspense, and this one pulls you in from the first chapter.

Falling in love with romance didn’t happen all at once — it grew with every story I picked up and every character who taught me something new about the human heart.
I’ve always loved writing, but discovering romance fiction changed everything for me.

When I first started writing, I used to worry about sounding “right.”
But the truth is — there’s no single way to write right. There’s only your way. Don’t rush it, and don’t imitate. The more you write, the clearer it becomes.
So, write like only you can. That’s where the magic begins. 💫

Whenever I feel stuck, I go back to reading. It reminds me why I write in the first place — to connect, to feel, and to create something that stays long after the last page. 📚❤️

My play is seeking a debut. An aging, former U.S. Army guard recounts his days as a back-up guard at Spandau prison, guarding former High Ranking Nazis sentenced at the Nuremburg Trials. As the play unravels, a chilling yet intimate portrait of the human side of inhumanity begins to emerge. #theatre

It’s a short, five-minute read about passion, timing, and choices that linger long after the last page.
This story means a lot to me — it’s both a whisper of desire and a glimpse into how I explore love in my writing.

There’s a kind of beautiful chaos in writing — that space between inspiration and frustration, when the words come out messy but real. ✨
I’ve learned to embrace that madness. It’s where creativity lives, where passion meets persistence, and where stories truly take shape.

Writing is more than just putting words on a page — it’s giving voice to emotion, memory, and imagination. Every story we tell, no matter how small, leaves a mark.
So write what moves you. Write what scares you. Write what won’t let you sleep until it’s out.

There’s something about being snowed in that makes everything slow down — the world quiets, secrets come out, and maybe… love has a chance to grow.
Nina and Dexter didn’t plan on falling for each other — life just had other ideas.

What happens when life falls apart… but love finds a way to pull you back together?
In Snowed In, Nina finds herself alone, expecting a baby, and starting over in Alaska — the last place she thought she’d discover hope again. But sometimes, the right person walks in when everything else fades away

Sometimes it’s nice to step out from behind the books and say hi.
Writing is such a solitary passion, but I’ve learned that the best stories come from living — from moments in the sun, quiet reflections, and simple joy.
Here’s to a little sunshine, good wine, and inspiration wherever we find it.
