Welcome...

to my beach pad on the web!

If you love the sound of waves dancing on rocky shores, you’re in the right place.

My family and I make our home on the sun-spattered California coast. To say that living and working here is a blessing is almost an understatement. Why? Because while some people find their sacred space on a mountaintop, I found mine at sea level.

I’ve been a writer for years, but now I’m writing the stories dearest to my heart: novels, set in seaside locales.

In my books you’ll find characters gripped by their love for life, art, and the sea’s mystery. Think spunky sea lions, tumbled seashells, and changing tides. You’ll also find the beach life in all its quirky glory: surf dudes, clam bakes, wave ridin’ kayakers, and sometimes even a little chocolate at the beach!

I’ve also recently opened Julie’s Beach Shop where you can find my eclectic collection of seaside treasures.

To keep up-to-date on my latest news and upcoming book releases, please sign up for my occasional newsletter in the box to the right (I won’t share your e-mail with anyone else, because that would be rude), then kick off your flip-flops, dig your toes into the sand, and take some time to explore my virtual beach digs.

For Book Clubs: Check out my Books page for a list of discussion questions for my newest release, Sweet Waters.

Oh, and be sure to drop me an e-mail or visit my blog before you leave. I love hearing from my readers!
