I'm a lifelong mystery lover who cut my teeth (and learned to read in English!) on the classic yellow hardback Nancy Drew series. I believe that faith, family, food, and friends are the perfect cozy combination, and I love weaving all those ingredients into the mysteries I write.

I'm the author of the Maid Ivy Cozy Mystery series, set in London’s posh Hotel LaFontaine, with several more cozy series waiting for you to binge (and plenty more on the way!).

When I’m not plotting twists and turns, you’ll usually find me sipping tea, dreaming up mouthwatering recipes, or getting lost in a good mystery—old or new.
