I write award-winning Regency Romance novels for the modern reader. My books have won recognition from Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards, the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the National Indie Excellence Awards, the Romance Slam Jam Emma Awards, and the Shelf Unbound Indie Book Awards. If you love ballgowns, secret kisses, and social commentary, a book hangover is coming your way. I’ve been a storyteller for as long as I can remember. Before I knew how to read and write, I acted out stories (original and retellings of my favorite Disney movies) with Barbies. Around the third grade, I started writing my own stories in notebooks, and I finished my first novel in seventh grade on my dad’s old laptop.Since then, I’ve been a writer. I got a degree in creative writing from Northwestern University, moved to New York City, and "daylighted" as a marketer. My short stories have been featured in several literary magazines, and I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2018. WHY ROMANCE? It came first from my love as a reader. I read on my subway commute every day, but it’s only when I’m on a romance kick that I literally cannot stop reading. I once spent an entire Memorial Day weekend reading 2 books a day!When I decided to try my hand at writing a romance, the words literally flowed. I have so much fun writing these stories that I never, ever want to stop.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
