I spend my days alternating between writing and painting. My inspiration comes from the places I travel, the people I meet, and my love of the outdoors. I've recently completed my second novel, THE SOCHI ASSIGNMENT, a work of fiction where Malware is stealing state secrets and a Russian troll farm is linked to murder. Seeking truth, an ousted journalist and jilted cyber expert get tangled in the dark web. Now the nation's security could fall into the hands of a nefarious government - possibly their own. I am currently working on PURE VENGEANCE, a mystery set in colonial New Hampshire. Built on familial duty, this work of historical fiction mirrors Shakespearean heroines and the blurred line between sanity and female agency. I'm a lover of craft beers, green tea, and watching the Columbus Crew play soccer. Most days, you can find me at my favorite coffee shop, the Grandview Grind. Additionally, I am working on a series of paintings for an upcoming exhibit at the John Glenn International Airport. Visit my Etsy shop to view paintings from some of my favorite places: Morocco; France; Spain; Bahamas; Nicaragua; Germany...and even my own back yard!
