I write sweet romance and uplifting historical women’s fiction—warm, feel-good stories to bring readers’ hearts home.

A Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® finalist and shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists’ Association Joan Hessayon award, I live in small-town Ontario, Canada with my husband, daughter and floppy-eared rescue hound.

I love reading, ice cream, ballet and paddling my purple kayak.

This week, I’m leaving Tech Guy and Floppy Ears behind and flying to London, my favourite city, for a mix of work and holiday there and elsewhere in the
