Welcome!

When you’re pushing 50 and your world has imploded, life is both messy and a blast.

I write stories about women in their 40s who find their true power and people when they’re forced to start over. Now I’m living it.

I lost everything and found myself. Here are the behind-the-scenes stories.

Welcome to the messiest, funniest, most real parts about rebuilding my life and finding my magic after it all fell apart.

Who am I?

I am an author of cozy paranormal women’s fiction about midlife women who are starting over and coming into their true power (magical and real) as they rebuild their lives.

But I’m also a woman pushing 50, starting over and coming into my true power as I rebuild my life.

Talk about art imitating life. Though in my case, it’s more about life imitating art. Or maybe about my subconscious mind noticing things long before I’m ready to admit them.

Because I’ve lived equally in France and the US, I bring cozy American warmth meets European pragmatism to my work, all wrapped up in a bit of magic and a lot of heart. I do my best to write poignantly honest stories for women who like their heroines messy, funny, and real; want their friendships to be fierce; and enjoy their magic with a side of chaos and community.

In short, if you want cozy, heartwarming books about real women who forge true friendships, I’ve got you covered. And if you’re looking for the messy, funny insights into what that looks like in real life, I’ve got you too.

Subscribing is a lot like signing up for regular coffee dates with a friend who happens to write fiction about awesome women, fantastic fresh starts, great friends, found family, witches, oh yeah, and magic, but she’s here to share messy, sometimes sweet, sometimes funny, always relatable moments about her very real life. Oh, yeah, and recipes. I share those too at least once a month.

All posts and recipes are free for two weeks then get bumped to the paid archives.
