I write speculative fiction books for adults and teens often with ecological themes and a dash of magic.

LUCID

My work in progress, LUCID, is an adult speculative thriller.

GHOSTED IN GRANADA

YA paranormal romance – I had so much fun with this! My first attempt at a haunted house mystery which I have always wanted to write and elements of my own time studying abroad in Granada, Spain.

After a disastrous senior year, eighteen-year-old Aurora Rivers is desperate for escape—from her mother’s death, her father’s new fiancée, and the art school rejection letters. When her long-dormant ability to read auras resurfaces, it only makes her feel more broken. Convinced she needs to reinvent herself, Aurora leaps at an opportunity to study abroad in southern Spain. 

Between the cobblestone streets and late-night tapas with new friends, Aurora finds the fresh start she craves—especially when she meets Mateo, whose mysterious dark aura both unsettles and intrigues her. Their connection is instant—but when Mateo disappears after inviting her to his family villa, where strange events leave them both shaken, Aurora’s search for answers pulls her straight into the supernatural world she’s tried to deny. 

To save Mateo, Aurora must confront Izra, the occult mastermind who steals paranormal powers and makes deals with the dead. Mateo may already be possessed—and unless Aurora acts, he will die, and she will become Izra’s next prize, robbed of the very gift she’s tried to hide. 

GHOSTED IN GRANADA will appeal to readers of atmospheric, romantic fantasy who crave a lush setting, a supernatural mystery, and a heroine who must choose between running from her power or claiming it to survive.

GHOSTED IN GRANADA is a 70,000 word YA paranormal fantasy that blends the wanderlust and self-discovery of Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch, with the psychic powers and haunted-house intrigue of Gallant by V. E. Schwab.

SONG OF THE STARSTONE

A YA fantasy about a girl who finds a magical crystal that allows her to talk to animals and she must save her village (and beloved and horses), from the flood of toxic drainage from a nearby mining operation. With forest and unlikely city allies, Layli stops the bad guy and saves the land. Something like that at least – i wrote this while exploring wild rivers in Montana and learned so much about writing and that I could tie an idea together from start to finish.

This book will probably stay in the “drawer” of Google Docs collecting dust, but it has a place in my heart and if anyone ever wants to revive this YA fantasy novel with potential, I am game!
