SECRET SPARK was the book that cured my fear of indie publishing and brought joy back to my writing. Happy first bookiversary to my weird superpowered kids and the norms who love them. Huge thank yous to everyone who read it and laughed at the "taco emergency" jokes. I wrote this book for us. 💥

How about a book series? ‘Cause I have a book series. 🏒🥅🌈💖

It’s a new year, friends! Don’t forget to update your website’s footer to 2026! 😁

This was a never published manuscript, but my favorite typo of all time is referring to Wolverine as having “Adamantium clams.” 🤣

Do you pick a word of the year? Mine for 2026 is "Growth." Let's do this! ✨

You’re going to be okay. Someone will hate your book. You’re going to be okay. Someone will not get what you’re trying to do with your art and judge you. You’re going to be okay. You’re going to keep creating, in 2026, because you need it and because the world needs you to. Okay?

Well, since I've been reading my own manuscript forever... I'm a Superhero!! 💥

"Will you spend the night?" She rolled over, slowly opening a drawer on the bedside table. "Let me get something that will make this more enjoyable for both of us." Her fingers grazed a small case, & after a moment, she rolled over again. She smiled, then popped a night guard across her upper teeth.

Join the festive fun this Saturday! ✨

I've been asked about the amount of hockey in my books, so here's a handy guide for the Out on the Ice Series ranked in order of on-page hockey-ness. All 3 take place in the world of women's hockey.
