About
I am a poet and award-winning author who enjoys telling stories that will wrap around your heart. When I'm not busy homeschooling, I am likely to be found taking photographs of the sky, or writing my next novel. I live in southeastern Washington with my husband and our three children.
Featured Work
The Space Between Our Hearts
After eighteen years in the foster system, Rindy is ready to put down roots and ditch her backpack for good. But when she gets off the bus in Tinlee Bay, California she’s crushed to find that her bad-luck-life traveled with her. Only this time it’s worse because now she’s homeless.
Enter Nolan, a young man with eyes bluer than the skies who loves forests as much as she does. But he’s leaving at the end of the summer. Which should not be a problem since nobody has ever wanted Rindy in the first place, so why start now? And yet, every day she spends with Nolan feels like home.
When Rindy finally achieves the security she’s always craved, Nolan asks her to leave with him. Now she’ll have to choose—the life she carved out for herself. Or. The boy who chose her.
