Welcome and thank you for visiting my site.

I'm an author living in the Pacific Northwest who writes books about young adults who have been traumatized or abused, or suffered the effects of living with an unstable parent. BAD GIRLS CLUB speaks to people who have faced these circumstances and understand what it's like to live in an environment where anything can happen. It also speaks to anyone who works with at-risk teens--teachers, librarians, counselors, psychologists, or nurses. My stories offer the hope that anyone can come through great difficulty and find light at the end of the tunnel.

And by the way, if you like a good story that's suspenseful and compelling, you won't be disappointed. Reviewers are comparing BAD GIRLS CLUB to A Child Called It and readers are agreeing.

If you know an at-risk or abused teen (especially if they love A Child Called It) or a school counselor, librarian, or teacher who works with at-risk kids, think about pointing them to Bad Girls Club. They won't be disappointed.

This is my second book. My first, Save Me! A Young Woman's Journey Through Schizophrenia to Health was used as a supplemental college text.

Take a look around and come back often to visit. I add new things all the time. And thanks for visiting!
