About
I’m an Air Force veteran of 12 years and retired in 2013 after 30 years of total federal service. A Minnesotan by birth, my unmitigated love of my home state and the Air Force led me to feature both in my first romantic suspense series. I enjoy reading romance stories and after reading so many featuring Navy SEALs, I wanted to feature an Air Force veteran. Yes, it’s a military competition-thing.
My romantic suspense series, Consequential Love Series, garnered contracts with Solstice Publishing and were published in 2022. Since then my writing continues, and we've published additional books, as listed below. Steamy romance is alive and well in the Romance DeGrootified world.
