Hello! Raised in a small suburb of St Paul, Minnesota, I moved around, before settling in Northern Minnesota, my favorite place on Earth!

An avid reader, after my daughter was born, most of the adult books were enjoyed on the city bus to and from downtown St Paul for 11 years.

I lived 15 years in the Southern Minnesota area, before having the opportunity to be a fully remote employee, finally making my dream come true of becoming a Northern Minnesota resident.
I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and camping in my spare time, like my protagonist, Ally Catano, I also have a Scamp travel trailer.

I enjoy writing quirky mysteries and am currently working on the next book in the series.
