I started out writing historical suspense and completed two historical suspense novels set in Chicago and Colorado in the 1800s. But I was drawn to the contemporary suspenses I read. I now write fast-paced action/adventure suspenses.

My writing has been recognized in various contests, including:

2nd place, Golden Gateway
2nd place, Oak Leaf Award of Excellence
Finalist, Stella Cameron's Scarlett Boa Contest
3rd place, Single Title Mystery/Suspense, KOD's Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence
