About the Author
I'm not sure if I am a Social Worker at heart who loves to write or a writer who is passionate about Social Work.
Either way, as they say, this is me.
I have been a storyteller my whole life and I'm not about to stop now!
My first novel, The Boy In The Basement, was an act of love, co-mingling realistic tales of the types of cases that CPS investigators handle with the very real consequence of caring too much: Secondary Traumatic Stress. The Boy in the Basement won First Place at the 2024 Bookfest Awards!
Currently, I am working on Book 2 in the Jennifer Riley series : Grave Justice and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I also write a weekly blog for the support and encouragement of Social Workers, Teachers, Therapists and others who takes on the burdens of others.

Despite the signs and natural assumptions that could lead the team to the perpetrators, the investigators discovered that the truth is never that simple
Water For Camels
Several years ago, as I watched so many social workers leave the profession due to burn out, compassion fatigue and lack of support, I wanted to find a way to reach out to them with understanding and encouragement. The people who daily pick up and carry other’s trauma do so because they see that as their life’s purpose. I wanted to celebrate them and let them know they were never alone.
