About the Author

---

I'm a romantic fantasy author based in the Tampa Bay area, originally from Germany. I write stories about women who find their strength and identity the hard way — forged from broken pieces. 

I write female main characters who don't start out with all the answers. They're messy, complicated, and still figuring out who they truly are. Expect found family, morally gray choices, complicated romance, and women who earn their strength along the way. 

I have four series at varying stages of prodution. Details on all all my books can be found on the Work in Progress page. 

My goal is two to three books a year, though life with three kids has a way of having other plans. Sign up for the newsletter to stay updated on release dates and writing progress. 

I'm primarily on Instagram. I also have a newsletter with writing updates, book recommendations, and more. 

Yes! In my newsletter  you receive writing updates, exclusive looks behind the scenes and book recommendations across fantasy, historical fiction, and literary fiction. You can sign up here.

Pretty much any subgenre of fantasy, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Occasionally, there might be a psychological thriller sprinkled in. Growing up I loved Stephen King, Tolkien, and John Grisham. These days I read as widely as possible. You can find both bestsellers and indie books on my shelves, with a deliberate effort to read diversely, including many books from BIPOC authors. Some of my favorite authors in recent years have been Sabaa Tahir, Kristin Hannah,  Marjan Kamali, Ayana Gray and Shannon Mayer. 

I write the stories I want to read, about women who are still becoming themselves, who don't arrive ready, and who find out who they truly are through the things that break them open.
