Award-Winning Author & Screenwriter
NEWS
I'm thrilled to share that my forthcoming WWII novel, Everything the Sea Brings, has been named a 2026 Longlist Finalist in ProWritingAid's Novel Beginnings Award, selected from more than 14,500 submissions worldwide and judged by a panel including NYT bestselling authors, a Big Five editor, and an International Booker Prize judge.
The novel follows a lighthouse keeper's wife on the Northern Irish coast who pulls a stranger from the sea one storm-lashed night and finds herself drawn into a web of secrets that could change the course of the war and everything she thought she knew about her own life.
The story isn't finished, but this recognition makes the work feel very real. More news soon!

I loved being a presenting author at the local authors book fair in Mission Viejo, CA.
Who knew there were so many authors living in my neck of the woods? I loved the creative, supportive energy, not just among the writers, but among our readers, too!
I love local events!
So much fun to share a reading and take questions about my work at

We need to support our local independent bookstores, people!
