A Midwest girl born and raised, I live in a small suburb of Chicago with my husband and three sons, two of which I homeschool.

I write hope-filled YA fantasy with romantic elements, inspired by my belief that love takes courage. My stories feature immersive worlds, big secrets, and complex heroines who wield knives, appealing to teen and adult readers alike.

When I’m not writing or stepping on Legos, I indulge in affogatos and escape rooms. Unless I’m in a Legend of Zelda boss fight.
