Books for the psyche...

I write with people’s psyches in mind. Even if what I’ve written seems like a fun, frivolous read, my intention is to help you soothe, heal or expand your psyche as you’re reading along. Sometimes, without even knowing that’s what is going on!

I have some exciting releases this year across a few genres: you’ll see more paranormal cozies as well as some intriguing and dark psychological thrillers. Maybe even a non fiction book or two…

And what better way to get to know ourselves than with reading, right?
