“I never knew there were books like this for people like me.”

​

Those words from a reader at a Pride event early in my writing career built the foundation I stand on now as a full-time author. 

​

Although I’ve always loved reading, it took me a long time to realize that writing fiction was my passion. From studying psychology and studio art in college to working in a hospital for ten years, becoming a full-time author was a long, twisting road.

​

Taking that leap into writing full time was one of the most terrifying and thrilling adventures I’d ever been on.

​

Years later, it still is. 

​

I found myself along the way and writing LGBTQ+ romance has given me an unexpected home and sense of community.

​

I’ve worked hard to create that same sense of community in my writing.

​

My characters always get help along the way from supportive friends, relatives, and found family. From fellow queer people and supportive allies.

​

At the heart of every romance story is a person looking for something. They may not be looking for love initially, but they are looking for connection, affection, understanding, stability, purpose, friendship …

​

Whether they’re a big shot pro hockey player, a teacher, a bakery owner, a painter, or a funeral director, they’re searching for something. 

​

I write the characters who are a bit lost. The ones who are searching for their path and their anchor point. The characters who are a little flawed, a lot confused, or stubbornly resistant to love.

​

The characters who step outside of what’s expected of them to live bold, unapologetic lives, to be open about who they are and who they love.

​

I write stories about people who may make mistakes but, in the end, realize that love is worth fighting for.

​

I write heartfelt, hard-won happily ever afters.

​

I write books like this for people like us.
