Welcome to my beach book shop!

A bit more about me: 

My family and I make our home on the sun-spattered California coast. While some people find their sacred space on a mountaintop, I guess you could say that I found mine at sea level.

After weathering some missteps in my early years, I landed in Ventura County where I made great friends, found faith, and fell in love with the dashing Dan Carobini. (Who, although born and bred in landlocked Pennsylvania, now owns several pairs of board shorts.)

After conquering a serious illness, and while raising three children, I began writing articles for a variety of magazines. My work covered issues such as family, faith, and the sea. I’ve also edited many books for talented authors. Over the years I picked up two writing awards from the National League of American Pen Women and a Carol Award for editing from ACFW.

Eventually I decided to write seaside novels with a touch of romance and faith, and that’s where I found my voice. In addition to romance, I've written several mysteries, too. Turns out I can be rather creepy (Thanks, Mom, for bringing me up on Agatha Christie and Mary Stewart!)

When I’m not writing, marketing, or editing, I’m marveling at the beautiful kiddos I’ve had the privilege to raise … and yet giddy that, now that they are grown, I’ve traded in my van for a sporty little number 😉

Thanks for shopping with me directly, as it helps me make a living as an author! Many of my titles are also available on your favorite online bookstore in all formats, as well as in your local library (you might have to ask the Librarian to order it in!). You can also ask your local bookstore to order it in, or of course, order from my shop here.
