Short Bio:

I mostly write short, relationship-focused work. I started a romance novel as part of The Summer Writers Club 2013, and I've been writing and revising it ever since. I work at Penguin Random House as the Digital Publishing Director for the New American Library, Berkley Books, and Celebra. I'm the former Director of Book Country, and I love this writing and publishing community. I also love reading, writing, publishing, art of all kinds, typewriters, joy, and laughter.
