My favorite things in the world are stories. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a stack of books on my bedside table. I’ve always been genre agnostic, preferring to follow a character I care about over a specific category— though I have a soft spot for anything set in the woods.

When I’m not working on a novel, you can find me with my family —hiking, taking photos, traveling, or in my library, which my husband built (with hardly any complaints) to house my colorful collection.

For the past ten years, I’ve traveled the world as a photographer, chasing the quiet magic that exists in wild places. Those experiences shape everything I write. I’m endlessly inspired by how where we are and what we’ve been through shapes who we become.
