I write relatable stories about love and relationships. I'm super interested in the intimate moments that make a relationship tick, those small moments that define the love shared between a couple. I'm also interested in broken people, people who have had to overcome a lot to reach a place of peace, and how those experiences impact their relationships with themselves and others. Basically, I'm interested in the "thick of love"—how does that look? How does that feel?
As a writer, I'm committed to telling honest stories. In my fiction, my characters have real reactions to situations that may not always be convenient, and sometimes may make you want to throw your book across the room, but that's life, right? That's, people, right? If my book leaves you feeling absolutely nothing, then I haven't done my job.
Yep, sometimes, my love stories can be a little heavy, and they've been described as "emotional" and "angsty" but the common theme is they're truthful, and love is always, always at the center of every story I write.
