Hi, beautiful you! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Things to know about me? Well, I believe in love at first sight, good ultimately prevails, and the world is far more interesting than we sometimes give it credit for.

I’ve always been fascinated by people, places, and the wonderfully unexpected twists life can take. That curiosity has led me to all 50 U.S. states and more than 75 countries, into advertising, publishing, documentary filmmaking, and ultimately to a life writing stories that make people laugh, think, cry, and see the world a little differently.

I’m an award-winning, bestselling author of eleven books spanning upmarket women’s fiction, visionary fiction, romantic comedy, historical fiction, and nonfiction. My character-driven stories blend humor, heart, hope, and emotional depth while exploring family, forgiveness, resilience, and what it means to begin again.

Before becoming a full-time author, I worked in advertising and publishing, including editorial positions with New World Library and A Guide for Spiritual Living magazine. I’m also an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose film followed Vietnam veterans returning to Vietnam for humanitarian work decades after the war.

Travel has been one of my greatest teachers. I’ve circumnavigated the globe twice, trekked in Nepal, meditated in India, belly-danced in Turkey, played with children in Soweto, scuba-dived through a shipwreck, chin-chucked a kangaroo in Australia, firewalked, flown a plane, and gathered enough stories to keep me writing for a lifetime.

My latest novel, Valley High, Mountain Low, follows a former Silicon Valley executive who returns home after divorce only to discover her family fractured by conspiracy theories, grief, and long-buried wounds. It’s a story about family, second chances, and finding hope in a divided world.

I live in Colorado with my family, where the Rocky Mountains provide endless inspiration. When I’m not writing, I’m usually planning my next adventure, savoring coffee and chocolate, or watching another spectacular sunset.

I’d love to connect with you. Feel free to explore my books, stop by the blog, or say hello. I’m so glad you’re here.
