My writing has been described as “vivid” and “gut-wrenchingly beautiful.” I've even been accused of making readers cry, which is incredible because I'm a hopeless romantic at heart who believes that love—in all its many forms—truly makes the world go round.

​

Here's what I hope you'll experience when reading my stories:

​

• Getting swept away by wounded, flawed and vulnerable heroes (and the people who love them).

• Joining strong heroes & heroines on riveting journeys through loss, forgiveness and self-realization.

• Hanging onto the edge of your seat through action-packed adventure and drama.

• And most of all, escaping into the combustible combination of ‘slow burn’ sensual pleasure and true love!

​

I'm a former Army combat medic and EMT, so medical drama tends to make its way into my writing. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 16, so bikers (and biker chicks!) also tend to show up as characters in my books. And, as a wife and mom, there are always funny or touching moments with my kids and hubby that I sometimes incorporate into my writing (or joke about in my newsletters).

​

What I do when I'm not writing

 

After nearly 20 years of running the family motorcycle business, I joined a marketing communications firm full-time so I can continue to be involved in creative endeavors. I enjoy riding my motorcycle (which I affectionately call ‘Black Widow’); spending time at the lake with family; and watching my soccer goalkeeper daughter's games (fun fact: I was a referee for four years, two with my son and two with my daughter!). I prefer to end the day with a good book if at all possible.

​

I live on a 3-acre oasis in small-town Minnesota with a small menagerie of critters, an infinitesimally understanding hubby, and two almost-grown children who put up with the ‘embarrassment’ of a motorcycle-riding, romance writing mom!
