Writer, Reader, Ridiculous Amount
​of Chocolate Eater.

How many people get to do what they love? Since I was old enough to hold a pencil, I’ve loved writing. Today,  I’m fortunate enough to have two careers that give me the opportunity to write. By day, I write marketing copy and corporate communications for a company in the healthcare market. After hours I pen fiction.  I’m also a voracious reader and can sit for hours, preferably on a beach or by a pool, devouring good books.  

I live in New England with my husband and golden retriever, Oakley. When I’m not writing or reading, I’m at the gym, taking long walks, or playing tennis, trying to burn off the ridiculous amounts of chocolate and ice cream I eat.

I Love Being by Myshelf Sometimes.
