Bio

During the days, I wrangle four small hobbits and help them along on their adventures.

Basically, I'm Gandalf.

But come evenings, when the hobbits are sleeping... I become my alter-ego: PLOT WIZARD (still a wizard, just a different kind)... and adventures await in the pages I scribble upon.

I write fantasy, fairy tale retellings, hints of steampunk, and I have epic plans for a hybrid science fiction/20s detective story mashup at some point... it's in the works. Mostly I stick with fantasy, though.

I'm a dreamer, a relentless opener of doors in the hope of someday finding passage to Narnia, and story girl.

I'm the author of the complete series "The Minstrel's Song," a four-book saga of epic adventure full of dragons, quests, magical swords, fierce warriors, friendship, loyalty, and an enigmatic minstrel. I won the second Rooglewood contest and my retelling of Beauty and the Beast, titled Stone Curse, was included in their Five Enchanted Roses anthology. I have two short stories published in Mythical Doorways and Paws, Claws, and Magic Tales with the Fellowship of Fantasy. I've had my flash fiction published with Havok four times. I’ve also written and published a Christmas Picture book. And my stand-alone middle grade fairy tale An Echo of the Fae won a Realm Award in 2021 for “best middle grade fantasy.”

So let me open a door to a fantastical realm and take you on an epic adventure! Safe Return Doubtful.
