Ever find yourself struggling to make your scenes pop off the page? Me too!

We want our readers to feel like they are right next to the characters and good descriptions do exactly that.

// ABOUT ME:
I have spent most of my life waiting to meet a witch, vampire, or at least get haunted by a ghost. In between failed seances and many questionable outfit choices, I developed a keen eye for the extra-ordinary.

When not writing, I spend my free time reading and binge-watching television shows in my pajamas. Currently, I reside in Toronto, Canada with my husband who is not a creature of the night.

I am a Scorpio and a massive advocate of leggings for pants.
