I'm a professor of social work at the University of Cincinnati and specialize in mental health and suicide prevention (if you need a mental health sensitivity reader, I'm your gal).

I am the author of The Dying Five (A Hospice Heroes Mystery) series- cozy mysteries in which folks in hospice spend their final months solving crimes.
I have also published The Pleasure Company under the pen name Samantha Gor. The Pleasure Company creates a world where sexual freedom is combined with sex positivity and is a unique twist on contemporary romance, with enemies-to-rejection-to-acceptance-to-lovers trope and eventually close proximity.

I live in Indiana with my husband and enjoy the outdoors: hiking, biking, and kayaking. I'm a weekend warrior writer.

I remember when I read Still Life how I saw myself as one of the villagers. I even pictured my little cottage, going to the book club, and eating bagels at the cafe.(less)

I tend to be someone who conceptualizes 80% of the book before I write it, and I'll get stuck in plot development. Right now, I'm plotting the sequel to The Dying Five, and I'm really close to having 80% of the plot developed and am working through plot holes. What helps me to work through a part of the plot I'm stuck in is to take a walk and get some fresh air. I relax my mind and something will come to me. I'll take out my phone and make a note so I'll have it when I'm back to writing.(less)
