Stories that bleed truth, beauty, and the darkness in between. From haunting Appalachian memoir to seductive vampire tales, each book I write is a part of me—broken open and offered to you.
I am an award-winning and international bestselling author best known for my memoir WEEDMONKEY, which reached #1 on Amazon and has remained a consistent Top-100 title in Kindle Memoirs & Women’s Biographies.
Today, my catalog spans memoir, gothic fiction, and paranormal romance. All titles are available worldwide through Amazon and other major online retailers and can also be found on the shelves of Turn the Page Bookstore in Boonsboro, Maryland—owned by renowned novelist Nora Roberts—and at Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
I remain grateful every day for the readers who keep my mother’s story—and every one of my stories—alive. ♥
