I write stories about strong, capable women of a certain age supporting each other through triumphs and challenges as they navigate midlife rites of passage.
I created a fictional small Florida town called Serenity Palms which serves as the central hub for all of my novels and Claire Harper, the proprietor of 2nd Chance Karma Yoga Studio is the connecting link between everyone.
My characters are focused on creating their best lives and aging, loss, burnout, empty nests, career changes, and the like will not keep them from living and loving life. They are also obsessed with France just like me!
Happy reading my dear friend!

“I’m in my late 40’s. Like many of my friends, I fell upon a second career. The characters in this book are so relatable. I feel like I’m reading about my life and what my friends and I dream and talk about! The sadness of divorce, the burnout from your first career, and the excitement and a second chance to find happiness in love and work. I started the book thinking of just reading a few chapters the first day, but I found I couldn’t put it down!!"
“I was delighted by this book! The characters were so relatable, and now I want to move to Serenity Palms! The writing was engaging, and I kept turning the pages, excited to see what might happen next between these two meant-to-be lovers. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!"
“I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one! What a fun surprise to have delicious sounding recipes at the end. I can’t wait to try them!"
“A lighthearted and fun beach read that leaves you with a happily-ever-after feeling."
“Fun & entertaining read! I need to know what happens next…"
