A little about me: I'm a seasoned author with more than 30 years of experience, including works on insurance business topics. When I'm traveling, I immerse myself in local history, and New York City is a fascinating place to visit and explore. Three and a half years in the making, Emily in the Elevator: A 9/11 World Trade Center Love Story, is my latest work.

I wanted to write a love story that honored the memories and sacrifice of first responders, that took the weight of that day seriously, not as a backdrop but as the actual engine of everything that follows. What fascinated me was the idea that survival carries its own kind of obligation, and that the people who make it through a tragedy like 9/11 have to decide, consciously, what to do with the life they were given back. I hope readers finish this book feeling the way Emily does at the end: stunned by how fragile it all is, and grateful that a brief connection with a stranger changed her life forever.

I live in St. Louis, Missouri, with my husband and our dog, Dakota. When I'm not writing, I enjoy traveling, gardening, hiking, and camping.
