Welcome to my website!
  
     I’ve loved books and food since, well, forever!
     After reading all the books in my elementary school library, I decided to start writing my own. My first book involved a set of twins, a murder mystery and a lot of secret passageways.
     Today, I still love mysteries and suspense, but I've also added romance and women's fiction to my repertoire. I admit that I still have a thing for secret passageways, but I don't have any in my books and so far there's no twins in sight. However, my books do star smart, determined women who won't back down from danger, a challenge or a second chance at love.
     My love affair with food continues. I share my culinary passion by teaching healthy cookng classes.
     Writing and cooking constitute an ideal day for me. Throw in some chocolate and I'm one happy girl!
     Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to browse.
