About

I help indie authors navigate the publishing world. I even have my own books!

My books span the genres of romance (One Love) and urban fantasy (The Hunted series). The uniting theme in my novels is how people form connections with their friends, family, and lovers. And how those relationships are colored by life experiences and beliefs.

I’ve also worked with authors to publish and market their books, whether traditional or self-published. Both options are valid and viable. Both are exciting: It’s about sharing your book with the world and bringing your labor of (hopefully) love to life.

Since 2012, I’ve been involved in publishing as a freelance editor, a writing coach, a self-published author, a content manager at a self-publishing company, and as a publicist.

Here’s what I’ve learned and how I approach working with people: No one-size-fits-all approach to publishing and marketing exists. And you can’t separate who you are and your book from creating a strategy. Each author requires a publishing and marketing plan suited to their time, capacity, and interests.

Outside of publishing, I’m a voracious reader, dog mom, and houseplant enabler. If I don’t have my nose in a book, you’ll likely find me exploring Minneapolis, Minnesota, in search of food and fun, consuming true crime or crime dramas, or spending time with my dog, Scarlet.

Here’s a picture of Scarlet, taking a break from her adventures.

Is her picture bigger than mine? Absolutely! I think you can see why. She’s very adorable. I’m biased, but I’m also right.
