Why I Write What I Write and Why It Matters…
Why I Write What I Write
And Why It Matters
I write women who break.
Not quietly and not neatly, but in the raw and real ways that life breaks us. I write girls who carry trauma like a second skin, who learned early how to survive, how to endure, how to keep breathing even when everything hurts. My characters are not built to be rescued, they are built to rise.
People sometimes assume my books are about romance, about the men, about passion and heat. They are, but only partly. At the center of every story I write is not a love saving a woman but a woman learning how to save herself. The men in my stories do not swoop in with solutions. They create space. They stand guard. They wait while the women learn their own strength. They love without ownership. They protect without possession. They hold the door open instead of locking her inside.
That is feminine empowerment.
Not perfection. Not fearlessness. Not a clean and easy recovery.
Empowerment is shaking hands, scars still fresh, voice still trembling, and choosing to live anyway. It is trusting slowly. Wanting again. Loving again. It is the victory of breath, not the fairy tale of rescue.
My heroines bleed, scream, rage, love, fall apart and come back together. They are messy and difficult and heartbreakingly human. Chloe does not know how to accept tenderness until she learns she is worthy of it. Stacy does not understand her own fire until the pain fractures enough pieces to let strength through the cracks. These women are not objects to be won. They are whole worlds to be witnessed.
I write them this way because many women know what it feels like to be overlooked or silenced or used up until there is nothing left but habit. Many women know how it feels to be loved as a responsibility rather than a desire. I write stories where the heroine learns, slowly and painfully, that she has value outside of what she can give. That she deserves to be touched because she is wanted, not because she is convenient.
The romance does not save her.
She saves herself and the romance celebrates it.
My books are for women who have been burned, abandoned, forgotten, underestimated. Women who are tired of being told to be smaller, quieter, easier. Women who are ready to reclaim their own bodies, their own voices, their own desire.
These stories are not about women who need rescuing.
They are about women who learn to rescue themselves with men who stand beside them, not in front of them.
That is the heart of what I write
and that is why it matters.

Inside My Writing World
Writing has become the place where my imagination settles into something steady and true. It is where the noise of the real world quiets, and the voices of my characters begin to speak. I write because stories have always been my way of understanding people, their wounds, their resilience, and the long complicated paths that lead them toward love or healing. When I sit down to write, I step into a different rhythm, one that lets me follow emotion first and plot second. I listen to the heartbeats of my characters, and I let them guide me.
My stories often begin with a single moment that refuses to let go. Brent staring at Stacy with a devotion she does not know how to accept. Earl offering Chloe the kind of steadiness she has never been given. Maggie touching a rune on the coast of Maine and falling through time into the arms of a Viking man who changes everything she thought she knew about love and destiny. Dominic Grasso standing on the edge of the rocky Maine coast while a mystery waits for him to unravel it. These moments spark something in me, a pull to explore trauma, tenderness, and the kind of love that grows in the spaces where people have been cracked open.
I write emotionally driven romance and mystery with a strong sense of place. Maine is always woven into my stories. The rocky shoreline, the deep forests, the fog that sweeps across old farm roads, and the quiet resilience of small towns. These landscapes shape my characters the same way they shape the people who live here. The woods become shelter, the coastline becomes a threshold, the mountains become a mirror. My stories breathe with the rhythm of this region.
My writing style leans into feeling. I focus on character interiority, the emotional tensions that simmer beneath the surface, the slow builds, the soft touches, the fiery moments when desire overtakes restraint. I like to write people who are flawed and human, people who have survived something, people who are searching for belonging or forgiveness or passion. I tend to write in deep point of view, letting readers feel every hesitation, every hope, every ache from the inside out.
I write because stories saved me more than once, and I want to create the kind of worlds that invite readers to exhale, to disappear for a while, to feel seen, and to feel something real. Whether it is a mystery on the rocky coast or a romance born from trauma and healing, my goal is always the same. I want to give readers characters who stay with them long after the last page.
This is my writing world. A place full of emotion, Maine landscapes, stubborn characters who feel too deeply, mysteries that twist and tighten, and romances that burn hot and steady. A place where I can breathe, create, and connect with readers who love these kinds of stories as much as I do.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
