On May 7, 1999, my world shifted. I took the night off of work to see the movie that would change the trajectory of my life and ultimately affect my writing career. I had always been drawn to action-adventure movies with romantic subplots, and I thought this one would be no different.

Inspiration: Bruce Willis, Serial Killers, and Flip Zimmerman
It should be a surprise to no one that I am absolutely feral for a sexy, gruff detective. I grew up watching par-boiled detectives in countless TV shows and noir-style films. There's something about that no-nonsense, jaded detective that called to me. Is it the one-liners? The rough and tumble look? That adorable little half-assed … Continue reading Inspiration: Bruce Willis, Serial Killers, and Flip Zimmerman

Let’s Recap: Craving 1985 Series
It's hard to believe I released the first book in this series two years ago in June 2021! When I first wrote When I Found You, I never expected this to turn into a series. But the secondary characters called to me, begging me to write their romance journeys. While the first book contains time … Continue reading Let’s Recap: Craving 1985 Series
