The genre for this book is women’s fiction, and I believe it gives me a wider range to play with than most genres. It can span across a multitude of themes such as romance, betrayal, and illness as well as heavier ones such as domestic abuse, suicide, etc.

Author Bio:
I’m a big fan of imagination. I wrote my first story when I was nine and kept it hidden under my bed. Now I am a mom of two boys, zookeeper of a menagerie of pets, and wife to my soul mate who indulges me when I talk about my characters as if they were an extended part of our family.
After All Is Said And Done is available as an e-book, and I am finishing up the prequel to it titled Seasons of Darkness, which I hope to have out soon.
Also available is The Monster of Silver Creek, a cozy mystery about a serial killer of women who leaves a most unusual calling card. Chief of Police Nathan Sommers is on the hunt, but every road leads to a dead end.
I wanted to write a story about what would happen if two couples who worked together had an affair, resulting in a pregnancy. So many times, we see the immediate results of infidelity, but not the long term effects.
I wanted to follow these four individuals for two years in their lives to show the devastating ramifications of adultery. I find that writing about characters with emotional flaws makes them real ,and brings about a certain vulnerability to them.
This ultimately is a book about healing & forgiveness.
