Still Us is the second book in my Munne Sisters series, and in many ways, it’s the story I knew I needed to write the moment I finished book one. When Olivia walked away from Kane in that epilogue, it didn’t feel like an ending—it felt like a question. Why would someone leave the person they love most, especially when that love is returned so completely?

A few years ago, my mom and stepdad came to spend Christmas with us. My mom has asthma, but because she lives up north, I rarely see how it affects her day to day. We talk on the phone almost every day, but it’s not the same as witnessing it firsthand.

When I wrote the first Beckett Siblings book, I never intended for it to become a series. But somewhere along the way, Pixie Beckett kept stealing scenes. She was loud, funny, impulsive, and always in the middle of everyone else’s business.

If you’ve been following the Carver Brothers Trilogy, you already know this: Marcus Carver—the oldest brother—is not easy to love. He’s controlled, calculating, used to getting exactly what he wants. He doesn’t ask. He decides. And yes… he can be arrogant. Even unkind. But the question that kept pulling at me from the very beginning was this: is he actually a criminal?

They say life can be stranger than fiction, and I was reminded of that firsthand one Halloween when my brother’s Suburban—towing a large trailer—pulled up in front of my house.

When an idea for a story takes hold, I often find myself imagining it as something larger—a world I can return to, with characters whose stories aren’t finished yet. I’m especially drawn to the ones who linger at the edges, the ones who haven’t quite had their moment.

When I wrote the first book in the Maple Ridge series, I always knew I wanted to come back to Mark. He’s a complicated character—not a villain, just someone who made choices he didn’t fully understand at the time. And to me, those are often the most interesting stories to tell.

When I was writing my newest release, Her Perfect Match, I didn’t expect Aiden’s story to stay with me the way it did. There’s a brief moment where his cousin, Aubrianna, notices a photo on his phone—a blonde woman who clearly meant something to him. It was a small detail at the time, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more behind it.

I’ve always been drawn to stories where friendship comes first. There’s something quietly powerful about two people who already know each other’s rhythms—the small habits, the unspoken comforts, the ways they show up when life gets difficult. To me, that kind of foundation is what gives a relationship its staying power.

Nearly two decades after my husband and I were forced to cancel our honeymoon to Niagara Falls due to a family emergency, we finally had the chance to take that long-awaited trip—this time to Miami and the Florida Keys, while his father stayed home with our girls.

Benton Jennings is one of my favorite male characters I’ve ever written—and in a lot of ways, he represents the kind of love story I believe in most.

Rewriting Us holds a deeply personal significance for me. Hunter and Ember’s story reflects a truth I recognize—the quiet ways life can strain a marriage through stress, pride, and emotional distance—and the equally powerful choice to fight for one another anyway.

Much of my writing is rooted in real-life experiences and deeply personal moments. I know firsthand what it’s like to face unexpected challenges earlier than anticipated—like navigating hot flashes before I ever thought I would—which left me feeling older than my time.

This story was born from my own journey: I was raised in a traditional environment with clearly defined gender roles, but over time I’ve come to deeply admire women like Cam—strong, capable, and unafraid to thrive in spaces not always built for them.

Over the past twenty years, I’ve written more than thirty books. I’m now in the process of preparing them for publication on Amazon—a milestone that has been years in the making.

I’ve dreamed of becoming an author since third grade, when I first fell in love with writing in a creative writing class.
