I am an award-winning Pacific Northwest author. Through my novels, I tell stories of strong women finding the courage to face the storm and live their dreams—usually in the company of a faithful hound. My debut novel, Releasing the Reins, won the 2024 American Writing Awards in the categories of Thriller/Adventure and Western and was a finalist in the Women’s Fiction category. Releasing the Reins earned first place in the 2024 BookFest Awards for Women’s Fiction Thriller and Suspense and was the 2024 Fall Pencraft Award Best Book for Women’s Fiction. It was a finalist for the 2024 BookLife Prize for Mystery and Suspense and was a 2022 Pacific Northwest Writers Association (PNWA) Literary Contest Finalist. My second novel, Roadside Sisters, will be released in May of 2025. I am currently writing the second book in the Tundra Secrets Series, Termination Dust.
