I fell in love with the idea of writing a romance novel during the weird and socially awkward transition from junior high to high school. Right when my hormones and curiosity about the opposite sex were at their peak! I’d also stumbled upon authors Kathleen Woodwiss, Nan Ryan and Joanna Lindsey, love poems of Oxford English Poets and the wonders of lucid dreaming. Yes! My teenaged brain was hyped up on the male anatomy, thoughts of eternal love and the occasional adrenaline rush of dreams so real…I could literally feel them. All these combined elements led me down the erotic romance rabbit hole and there was no going back.

In my debut novel;
Claiming Her Heart
I weave a story with flawed characters who live, love, laugh, cry, and of course, have mind-blowing encounters. I write contemporary, erotic romance novels, featuring African-American and interracial characters with stories guaranteed to give you a love sucker-punch in the gut. I’m currently working on several new steamy reads full of angst, featuring sexy, craveable alpha men and the women they desire.
I reside in the Midwest (one of the friendliest places to live) with my very supportive husband and our wacky dog. My indulgences are music of all genres (inspiration), classic, horror and foreign films and of course…reading romance. Oh! And chocolate! I work a normal 9 to 5 (to indulge my need for chocolate) and like to escape to my “writer’s room” where I listen to classical music while dreaming up scenes that bring you all-the-feels!
