Welcome

I’ve loved reading mysteries for as long as I can remember–the ones with family secrets, surprising twists, and clever amateur detectives. Eventually, I started writing my own, usually set in places that fascinate me like old mansions, crumbling ruins, and forgotten towns. But it’s creating the characters that live there, with their flaws, secrets and resilience, that make writing the most fun.

I think that’s why I continue to be inspired by classic authors like Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier, as well as many contemporary writers. Their characters and settings are enviable, layered with small telling details that bring fictional worlds to life. Something I strive to do in my own work.

This site is where I’ll share the stories behind my stories and other topics I hope you’ll enjoy.

Thank you for visiting!
