My Story

My romance reader journey started with Harlequin romance novels when I was in middle school. Though my mom forbade me from reading them at that age, she eventually gave up when she realized I was hiding in the bathroom reading instead.

I eventually graduated to African American romance authors and fell in love with stories created by Brenda Jackson & Francis Ray. Their plots, characters, and world building were so dynamic, and I was determined to write novels like them!

Well, that didn't quite happen; I wrote poetry throughout high school and college before I actually had ideas for a story to write. Eventually, once life started life-ing, romance stories became my escape and, alas, here I am.

About My Work

With each word I pen, I aim to whisk you away on a whirlwind romance that'll have you swooning and sighing until the very last page.
I want to create dynamic characters that readers will fall in love with and see themselves in. If you read it all in one sitting, then I've done my job right.

In addition to some other projects, I'm currently working on my debut short romance, Book 1 in the Lauve Beach series.
