I grew up voraciously reading anything and everything, including some things I probably should not have. One transformative book was Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins. As a pre-teen, I connected deeply with the girl’s resilience in the wilderness.

My passion for writing began in high school. Since then I have filled journals with personal reflections, poetry, short stories and humor pieces.

Professionally, I have followed a winding path. I studied Architecture at the University of Missouri before pivoting into hotel marketing and management. I later oversaw marketing for Super 8 motels and the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce. Since 2002, I have embraced the entrepreneurial life as a small business owner in various ventures. Each endeavor has expanded my cultural horizons. My husband and I have also hosted over 25 foreign exchange students. Learning about diverse cultures and faiths has become an obsession that now infuses my writing. My circuitous career has led me back to my original love of creative expression through fiction.

Bloodstone Legacy

When Kerri Bloodstone's estranged father dies unexpectedly in Anoka, Minnesota, she has to face the truth of her powers of electrical manipulation and return to her hometown for the funeral. There she meets her mysterious “uncle” Bryan for the first time who shows up out of the blue after Sera's own tragic suicide years earlier. Kerri starts questioning the circumstances around both deaths.

Her sense of unease grows when David Bloodstone's will requires Kerri to run his historic winery for one year or lose her rightful inheritance. The only exception is her mother's ornate bloodstone pendant necklace, said to possess unique protective powers. As Kerri reconnects with her local roots and rekindles a romance with her childhood friend Allen, she soon becomes the target of a sinister threat. The secret council that has sworn to protect the Bloodstones for centuries knows that David was murdered, but doesn't grasp the full mystery behind their duty and the legends of ancient tunnels below the town.

Kerri’s is soon joined by her college best friend and roomate, Skyler, a power empath. David’s grieving fiancé, Molly reveals she was aware he feared being killed and vows to keep Kerri safe. As the claustrophobic community becomes increasingly dangerous for her, Kerri must uncover her true legacy before she loses everything, including her life.
