edit data

Gwen is living her happily ever after in the PNW. She's a nature lover, science geek, and spiritual explorer, with a nose for well-aged tequila and an unhealthy obsession with bookish candles.

When not chasing butterflies to hidden waterfalls or cavorting through the Emerald City, she can be found reading in a cozy chair with a cup of tea at hand or brewing up her own tales of magic, adventure, and romance.

Join The Coven to receive a free witchy romantasy, and get all the behind-the-scenes info on what's bubbling in the cauldron.

Follow on Bookbub to get updates on new releases and recommended reads.

You can find all current works on her Amazon Author Page.
