I am a literary scholar, a novelist, and a lifelong Jane Austen enthusiast. When I’m not busy reading or writing, I take long walks, bake bread, and play the harp. I adore croissants and hot cups of tea (or coffee—I’m an equal opportunist). I am a Christian in the Anglican tradition, and I believe our enjoyment of art can help us to delight in the beauty of God. I live in California with my husband, my impossibly adorable son, and a very fluffy cat.

I hope that my stories invite you to abandon the rush of everyday life, curl up someplace cozy with your favourite hot drink, and get lost in the land of imagination.
