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.
