Author of the Lexi Series

A B O U T   M E

I was born in Las Vegas and raised by musicians. I followed my dad to gigs and hung out backstage with foul-mouthed entertainers and half-naked showgirls. At home, my brother burned things and liked to streak through the neighborhood. There was nothing normal about my childhood.

I left the desert at age 25 and moved to the tropics of Florida. Here, I started my career in technical writing and editing. I operated a medical transcription service from home while my kids were young then transitioned into the government sector to work as a contract writer. Boring, I know. And to think I could have stayed in Vegas and become a stripper.

I Finally found my passion writing fantasy for young adults And started sharing these stories on a reading and writing platform called Wattpad. After winning a Wattys award for my YA story, Neon Girl, I branched out into the adult romance genre. here, I found my audience and was asked to join the Wattpad Stars.

​

my debut romance, Lexi’s Undoing, is published with Hachette Audiobooks. My short story, Heart of Gold, is featured in The One That Got Away Anthology in Wattpad’s Paid Stories collection. I am also co-lead of the Bootcamp Mentors community profile, which helps writers polish their manuscripts for submission into the Wattys.

​

Note: apart from the audiobook of Lexi's Undoing, my stories are only available on Wattpad. If you find my name attached to a story that is not found on my Wattpad profile, that is not my work.
