My Story
Even before I could read, I wrote tiny runes of my own invention. I wrote to memorize words, to make sense of the world, to remember places, to connect with people and things gone past. I wrote the stories I needed to believe in, and I wrote the steps to find my way home.
After college, I focused on my career for almost a decade until I realized that I really don't know who I am or what I think until I write it down; arranging words on paper is significantly easier than the thoughts in your head. So I chucked the job and the commute, and moved our caravan of creatures to the writingest state (North Carolina) to maintain a steady stream of Southern sunshine and paradox.
Now I am a writer, and also a mom, a consultant, a bibliophile, a history buff, a cook, a critic, a gardener, a storyteller, a cancer survivor, a caretaker, a traveler, a scavenger, a weaver of loose threads, and a pugilist, of a sort.
My Books
From the moment Miriam Francis Claymore makes the rather impetuous decision to quit her life, something quite extraordinary intervenes. Whether moved by fate- or sleight of hand- one careless moment sets off a rippling tide that leads Miri from her comfortable life in New York, to the Aegean shores of Turkey, and into the unknown...
Against the crisp backdrop of the Jordanian desert, the Dead Sea and the living paradise of Aqaba, 27-year-old medic and secret operative, Khayal, lives in the shadows, submerged in a criminal underworld, where lies aren’t just the things you tell yourself to sleep at night; they’re the things that keep you alive.

"I want to go to Turkey. I want to move away from all that is familiar and stroll through the bazaar, hunt for the perfect rug and sip Turkish wine while staring out at the Aegean sea with the protagonist."
