The Ghost Hunter is my most recent work. I’m currently working on another Gabby and Maddox adventure, Over the Falls with Gabby and Maddox, where the siblings visit Niagara Falls. I enjoy writing middle-grade chapter books.
What drives you to write?
I’ve always enjoyed telling stories and wanted to be a journalist when I grew up. But life took me in another direction. Now that my children are grown and out of the house, I started following my dreams. It’s my passion for the written word that drives me.

What is one piece of advice you would give to another author out there who might be struggling?
You have to read and write daily. Never give up and learn as much about the industry as you can. Never stop learning.
What are some of your five-year goals with writing?
I’d like to write 2 novels a year, going back and forth between my mystery-suspense stories and middle-grade chapter books, and continue to grow my following.
Final Thoughts?
Enjoy the journey no matter how slow it is. Never give up on your dreams.
