& I write books about love and magic.✨

I live in a small town in the middle of Illinois cornfields with my husband and three children, and when I’m not chasing down my tiny humans, I’m inhaling fictional worlds like oxygen or dreaming up my own. I enjoy writing both fantasy and contemporary, always with a healthy dose of romance and angst.
