Hi there. Thanks for visiting my little e-corner of the world. I’m a storyteller. Because I like to settle in and get to know my characters, I write novels. And by getting to know my characters, I mean torment them. Conflict, conflict, conflict, right? About my work:
STORK—my YA debut—released in October of 2010 with Candlewick Press. It’s the story of 16-year-old Katla (Kat) Leblanc, whose life is upended after a move from L.A. to Minnesota. As if being the new kid isn’t challenge enough, Kat is drawn into an ancient society of women with the extraordinary task of soul delivery. Complicating things further is Jack Snjosson, an aloof classmate. Given their relationship’s rocky start, Kat would never believe they share a history—never mind destiny.
THE McCLOUD HOME FOR WAYWARD GIRLS, contemporary women’s fiction, was published on August 2, 2011 by Berkley Books, an imprint of Penguin. It’s the story of three generations of women who run a bed and breakfast from their historic property, formerly a home for unwed mothers, and the scandalous family secret that surfaces when the inn hosts the funeral of the town matriarch.
FROST released on October 11, 2011. In this sequel to STORK, Katla Leblanc is finally settling into her life in chilly Minnesota. In fact, the ex-California girl even hopes for a white Christmas. But Katla’s wintry wish unexpectedly turns into the snowstorm of the century, drawing the attention of Brigid, a gorgeous environmental researcher with an unusual interest in Katla’s boyfriend, Jack.
Finally, FLOCK, book three in the STORK trilogy, released on September 25, 2012. In this final installment, Katla must use her wit, her soul-delivering powers, and a few out-of-this-world colleagues to fend off a disaster of epic proportions.
In the meantime, I’m working on two new projects.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m very grateful to you, the reader. Writing novels is a joy and a privilege. There are a lot of fabulous reads out there. I’m honored you’ve found my books. Best,
