I’ve spent the past thirty years navigating a diverse career path. From partnering with my husband in our insurance business to building a successful indoor trampoline park, I simultaneously raised four boys and somehow managed to pursue my love of writing. In 2023, my short story, The Backwoods, was selected for Thrill Ride, The Magazine (Unlikely Partners) and was later nominated and featured for inclusion in Otto Penzler’s The Best Mystery Stories of the Year, 2024, and Thrill Ride: Best of 2023. I have published two additional short stories with Thrill Ride Magazine, one in 2025 and the second in March 2026. I am a current member of International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, Women’s Fiction Writers Association, Mystery Writers of America, and the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. My passions are reading thrillers, time on the lake, and writing. My husband and I live on a misty lake with two crazy dogs.
