About Me

Once upon a time, in August 2021, I moved my children into college. Not wanting to go home to an empty house, I drove the opposite direction. I discovered a quaint town and wondered what would happen if I were not happily married and had a loving husband to go home to. So, I picked up a pen, and started writing. Mapleton Social is my first novel.

I currently live in Mariemont, OH, just outside of Cincinnati. I have an amazing family and community of friends. I find myself adding traits and characteristics of my family, friends and community to my writing. I am also a speech language pathologist and have worked with adults and children. I have now added writing to my hobbies of reading, skiing and traveling.

Having just written my first novel and becoming an empty nester, I feel a certain peace with where I am in life right now. I am very blessed with a loving family and friends. My support system means everything to me. I plan to continue writing. I am active on social media and would love to hear from readers!
