About
I write each book so that it can stand alone, so if a book in the middle of a series catches your fancy you can read it without worrying that you’re missing crucial context. Of course, recurring characters make reading in order a richer experience for some readers, but I try to balance that with writing every book so that it can be read as a standalone. Enjoy!

After a bit of a publishing hiatus, I’m releasing my second Golden Years novella, Meet-Cat on December 31, 2025 (just in time to squirrel yourself away and read on New Year’s Day!). If you’re into stories with protagonists who’ve seen a bit more of life, this may be for you!
Astrid Ellis is an introvert’s introvert. A widowed, bestselling mystery novelist with grown kids, she’s very happy on her own, thank you very much. But when a cat mysteriously appears in her fifth floor apartment, of course she’s going to make sure the poor thing gets back to its owner…
…Who turns out to be Astrid’s brand-new silver fox of a neighbor, Ben Strong. Despite being immediately intrigued by the reserved and beautiful woman, he’s determined to respect her boundaries. Trouble is, the cat is smitten with Astrid and keeps demanding visits. What else can he do but ask if his lovely neighbor will time-share the little beast before she (the cat, not the woman) yowls herself into an early grave?
There is at least one huge reason why Astrid doesn’t want to open her heart to handsome, kind Ben, but with an adorable cat as matchmaker, how long can she hold out?
In the meantime, you can find all of my books on the Books page!
