I’m a storyteller, pizza enthusiast, over-user of em dashes, and author of books with heart, humor, and hijinks, including my debut young adult novel, THE ROSEWOOD HUNT, newest YA release, THE WILDE TRIALS, upcoming YA WORSE THAN THE OTHERS, and forthcoming debut adult romp, I HOPE THIS EMAIL FINDS YOU IN HELL.

I’ve been a writer my entire life, but lately I’ve found a cozy nook in the YA thriller space with my books THE ROSEWOOD HUNT, THE WILDE TRIALS, and my upcoming release WORSE THAN THE OTHERS, perfect for fans of Karen McManus’ thrilling mysteries and Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Inheritance Games. I’m also thrilled that my debut adult novel I HOPE THIS EMAIL FINDS YOU IN HELL is coming out with Berkley (US) & Headline Eternal (UK)!

Check out my books!
