rom-coms, roller-coasters,
& one very real debut.

I write love stories & theme park dispatches.
I'm a stay-at-home mom of two who routinely forgets to give myself credit for all the writing I do when the kids are sleeping. I hold a degree in English from Ohio State, and for the past five years I've been writing professionally as a theme park journalist. If you're as big of a Disney nerd as I am, you may have seen my byline on WDW Magazine, Disney Food Blog, AllEars.net, and beyond.
Writing a book became a dream of mine when I became a mom and fell in love with love stories during the quiet, sleep-deprived nights of new motherhood, rocking my babies with the glow of a Kindle app as the only light in the room.
I made that dream real. I'm currently writing my debut novel, PUNCH LINE — an adult contemporary romance inspired by HBO Max's, Hacks, set in the world of late-night television.

Punch Line.
At twenty-four, struggling stand-up comedian Poppy Adams will take any paycheck she can get — and a punch-up writing gig for legendary late-night host Damien Kelly could fund the experimental cancer treatment her sister desperately needs. There's just one problem: Damien never agreed to hire her.
At thirty-seven, Damien Kelly is handsome, bitter, and convinced he doesn't need anyone. Especially not a chronically online Gen Z comedian who thinks his monologues are anything but funny. But with the network threatening to cancel his show, he agrees to a trial run.
What comes next is a slow burn that neither of them could have seen coming.
Set against Hollywood writer's rooms, PUNCH LINE explores the exhausting pressure to stay relevant and what happens when you decide to let someone see your darkest parts.
