I am a secondary English teacher who works with at-risk high school students, and most of my novels center around the them of redemption because I think most people understand what it means to need that.  I have an amazing child who is on the autism spectrum, and that alone really affects much that I write.

I've had poems published in over eighty literary magazines across the UK and the United States. I've also sold greeting card concepts to numerous companies.

I am getting ready to release Sojourner, a ya urban fantasy about a seventeen-year-old girl who falls in love with an angel. The Kindle version is already available, and the print version should be out by the middle of next month.
