Thanks for visiting!

Here’s a little about me. Before becoming an author, I enjoyed a twenty-year acting career playing diverse characters from Shakespearean heroines on stage to starring roles in daytime TV dramas and Disney made-for-TV movies. It felt like a natural extension of my acting to create characters for fiction, and I hope you'll enjoy my novels. Over half a million copies have been sold worldwide.

My seven-book Thornleigh Saga series is set in 16th-century England and follows a middle-class family’s rise through three generations and three tumultuous Tudor reigns. ("Riveting Tudor drama in the bestselling vein of Philippa Gregory" - USA Today). I’m also the author of acclaimed thrillers.

My new novel of suspense is THE MAN FROM SPIRIT CREEK. I hope you’ll love it!

Are you writing a novel? As a writing coach I’ve launched many writers on the path to published success. My video course YOUR PATH TO WRITING A PAGE-TURNER shows you how to craft a book that excites publishers and thrills readers. It's a Udemy Bestseller. See: https://www.udemy.com/course/your-pat...

My husband and I live in Guelph, a university city in southern Ontario where we enjoy its riverside walks, vibrant arts community, and good-neighborliness.

Happy reading!
