Some See a Weed,
Others See a Wish

I write books for smart women (and men) with a soft spot for love stories. I am most definitely the person who sees the wish where others see a weed, and that comes through in my novels.
Other recurring themes are that it's never too late to rewrite your story, and we all have a mark on this world. My own journey has been a winding one, and I tend to share too much of it on here, but I figure when we share our failures, we diminish their power over us. They become not so much failures as detours. 

In truth, I'm just fumbling my way through this life, doing my best to love people and find joy along the way. Aside from being mom to three amazing men, my books and my animals are my greatest joy on this earth, so you'll find a lot of both on these pages. (And a bit of rambling, if I'm being honest.)

Elusive Magic

Some might call it a midlife crisis, but Josie Novak prefers to think of it as a midlife awakening.

With her relationship in shambles and her career floundering, Josie is at a crossroads.

Enter fairy godmother aka best friend Brigitte, offering Josie a chance to make the dream of opening her own bar a reality. But achieving dreams is not an easy thing, especially when you’re dating over forty and helping friends through the highs and lows of marriages, babies being born and babies leaving home, and all the other things life throws at this group of women as they navigate modern-day femininity.
Both heart-wrenchingly sad and laugh-out-loud funny, this forty-something coming of age story teaches Josie that being a woman might not be a fairy tale, but it is an elusive magic all its own.
