About me

I consider myself a life in progress.

I’m a storyteller, author, poet, artist, and listener.

I’m the author of the Liv Wilde Mysteries in which menopause is a superpower! Since I had to put up with hot flashes every day, I figured I might as well make them useful!

I proudly infuses my writing with my Jersey Girl sensibilities and aim to create stories imbued with heart and humor.

I live in Fredericksburg, VA, where the Liv Wilde mysteries are set, with my husband, our cat, and the many incredible eagle friends who pay us frequent visits.

When I’m not writing about hot flash-induced psychic visions, I also write poetry and create art.

I began my career in video post-production and documentary filmmaking before focusing my knack for storytelling on writing. I have written four poetry collections, Rest in the KnowingIllumineWild Divinity, and Grace Reflected. I have also published The Rules of Creation (nonfiction) a guide to living from the heart, and the novel, Sight to See. The Liv Wilde Mysteries features Flashes of Insight (book 1) and Flashes of a Dying Hour (book 2).
