Stories of Love, Resilience, and Fresh starts

I write stories that explore love, resilience, and second chances—like Twenty-One Trees, a reader favorite about memory and healing. I also share encouragement and practical wisdom for seniors navigating life alone through Senior Life: Solo Path.

Read Twenty-one Trees
Senior Life: Solo Path

A heartfelt novel about love, memory, and the healing power of second chances

With humor and heart, this novel proves that second chances can be just as messy—and magical—as first loves

Twenty-One Trees

When Savannah Holladay loses seven years of her memory, she also loses her husband, her children, and the love story she never knew she had. Standing by her is Birdy Johnson — her childhood best friend and the man who has always loved her, even through heartbreak and secrets.

Stories That Stay With You. The best stories aren’t just read — they’re felt

Here’s what readers felt after turning the last page of Twenty-One Trees

Emily R. Reader Review

“I haven’t cried so hard in so long; at points it was gut-wrenching! But it was so beautiful; filled with tenderness and passion."

Sophie M. Verified Buyer

“A deeply moving and beautifully written story about enduring love. The prose flows so naturally that it’s easy to read, yet it lingers in your mind long after you close the book"

Claire H. Reader Review

“This book touched my heart in ways I didn’t expect. A beautiful reminder that love and loyalty can survive even the darkest of times.”

The Middle-Aged Hottie Series: Satire, sass, and second chances—aging has never been this hot.

Once upon a hot flash… I wrote this satirical rom-com series to laugh my way through menopause and the endless quest for eternal youth in Los Angeles. Fizzy, lighthearted, and meant to be tossed in a beach bag, these books sparkle with the truth that humor has the power to see us through even life’s hottest seasons.

Hotter Than Ever (Book 1)

Menopause stole her marriage, her waistline, and her sanity. But it also gave Lexi Taylor a chance at something she never expected—a brand-new life.
