hufflepuff, leo, and cat mom

I'm an author, wifey, and live-music lover from St. Louis, Missouri. I have two cats named Stir Fry and Goonie, and plenty of skeletons in my closet to keep me company while they're napping.

I recently released my debut novel, Deviant Vandals, on 5/22/26, am on track to publish book two in the fall, and am currently writing book three.

I have also written six poetry collections.

Subscribe to be the first to read new poems and sneak peeks into my original romantic suspense series,The Detectives of Defiance!

I'm glad you stopped by to check out my site. I hope you read something you enjoy!
