I write stories about ordinary people making complicated choices.


The kind that blur the line between right and wrong. Relationships you probably shouldn't want. Decisions that make perfect sense in the moment, until they don't.

You might not agree with my characters' choices. You might completely understand them. Honestly, that's kind of the point.

Because it's one thing to question what someone does. It's another to wonder if you might have done the same.
