Welcome to my website. I’ve always loved exploring new worlds both on foot and through fiction. That’s why my goal is to transport and entertain readers while giving them new perspectives on the world. Please look around!

An American girl plays on an Italian boys’ soccer team and encounters challenges on and off the field. This story came about after my family lived in Merano, Italy for three and a half years.
Two children find a baby griffin with tufted ears, tawny fur and downy feathers on a Tuscan estate in this Narnia in reverse. It was inspired by a hand-carved stone griffin that I bought in Siena.
A YA cozy mystery set in a Missouri bed and breakfast. It was inspired by an article about a winery opening up an old cellar. I wondered what would happen if they’d found a body. The plot wound up drifting from the original inspiration.
