About the Author

Romance reader. Romance writer.

I'm a former flight attendant turned sweet romance author who lives near the Rocky Mountains with my husband, our four kids, and far too many half-finished manuscripts.

When I'm not writing, you'll find me lost in a book, planning my next trip, or watching rom-coms with a giant mug of something warm.

Long before I wrote books for a living, I was the girl with a paperback tucked into her tote bag, sneaking pages between flights as a flight attendant. I logged thousands of miles, met countless interesting people, and somewhere above the clouds, I started imagining their love stories instead of just my own.

“I’ve always believed the best love stories start with a little hope and a lot of heart.”

Eventually, I traded my wings for a writing desk near the Rocky Mountains, where I live with my husband and our four wonderful kids. My days are filled with carpools, walks with friends, family movie nights, and—of course—pages and pages of small-town romance.

When I’m not writing, you can usually find me curled up with a book, planning our next family trip, watching way too many rom-coms, or sipping herbal tea by a sunny window. I love travel, big family dinners, the smell of pine trees after a rainstorm, and that quiet moment when a story finally clicks into place.

I believe in love at first sight, and the second look too, in the magic of coming home, and in the kind of happily ever after that feels earned. If you love stories where the heroes are good, the heroines are brave, and the kisses are absolutely worth waiting for, I think we’re going to be friends.
