My career

I am an author, speaker, photographer and indie publisher. I write young adult contemporary fiction on teen tough issues, new adult sleuth/mystery series, YA historical fiction, and nonfiction. I speak on a variety of topics related to writing, publishing, marketing and photography. I also speak to teens about teen issues and tough topics. Before becoming a writer, I was a teacher and recreational therapist working primarily with teens with special needs and emotional disabilities.

My passions

I am passionate about raising awareness on teen violence and teen tough issues. I talk to teens about issues such as bullying, depression, dating violence, healthy relationships and other tough subjects.

My hobbies

I love long talks with friends and time with my family. I love to spend time in the Colorado outdoors hiking, biking, rafting and taking photos. I love to hike and walk on all the trails surrounding the Front Range and Lone Tree.
