Giving stories a life of their own, one page at a time.


Welcome! Discover the story behind the story of my debut novel.

“I’ve wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember. For years, the story lived in the back of my mind while life took center stage—raising a family and navigating a full-time career in real estate. But some stories refuse to stay quiet. After leaving real estate, I finally sat down to turn all those years of ideas into words on the page. I’m so excited to finally share this world with you.”

“And of course, none of this would have been possible without my sweet writing companion, Bubba our 12 year old Chihuahua rescue. We rescued him in October of 2025 and whether he was keeping my feet warm during early morning writing sessions or reminding me to take well-deserved breaks, he was right by my side through every single chapter. Sadly we lost him in August of 2026 to heart failure. We were devastated, but I had to finish my book in honor of Bubba. This site and this book is dedicated to my sweet Bubba boy who is pictured on my lap in the photo.”

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Thirteen years ago, a girl and her boyfriend disappeared. No bodies. No motives. No closure. No answers.

Now, mysterious letters are arriving—and with them, doubt. With every line, trust dissolves into fear, turning those you love into strangers and fond memories into lies.

Two detectives begin digging into the mysterious letters, but could there be a connection between what happened thirteen years ago and what is happening now?

Someone knows too much about everyone involved.

So much so that you have to ask… how well do you really know those closest to you?
