Welcome!

If you’ve ever dreamed of wandering the streets of Italy, sipping the perfect cappuccino, exploring ancient ruins, or finding yourself in way more trouble than you planned for, you’ve come to the right place.

I write adventure-filled stories with humor, heart, travel, and romance simmering in the background. My characters don’t spend much time sitting around waiting for life to happen. They chase mysteries, survive disasters, uncover secrets, and occasionally find love.

Whether you’re here for Italy, Peru, coffee, adventure, or simply looking for your next great escape, I’m glad you found me.

Let’s see, what should you really know about me?

I am a purveyor of world travel and the perfect cappuccino—a search that will never truly be over because there are still too many places I’ve yet to visit.

I have a fancy Bachelors in History. (Think Romans and Greeks.) Why didn’t I take
English in College if I always wanted to be a writer? History had much, much better stories.

Before I published my books, this website was where I shared my writing and thoughtful reflections on on Italy, life, writing, and coffee. Not necessarily in that order.

I have four faithful readers (apart from my mom) who describe my writing as engaging, relatable, and funny. I hope you’ll agree.

I. Love. Moose. I’m not kidding. My life is littered with moose paraphernalia. Read all about why here.

Not sure which book to read first?

You should try:

Big Trouble in Little Italy
“The epitome of rom-com, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE ITALY, has it all—travel, romance, action, adventure, and bad guys—really bad guys! So grab a cappuccino and prepare to duck and weave because the twists are fast and furious.” -Laurie Buchanan

The Italian Holiday
“The Italian Holiday: Luscious; everything about this book is luscious- from the characters, to the exquisitely detailed settings, to the mouthwatering descriptions of food, wine and cappuccinos. I simultaneously couldn’t put this book down, but also wanted to savor every moment of it.” – Ariane Kimlinger

Tears of the Moon
“If you’re looking for adventure and romance all wrapped up in one, (think Romancing the Stone, The Lost City, or Shotgun Wedding) this is the book for you.”  -Maryanne Barsotti
