I'm an expert in the Microsoft Office suite and Scrivener and will work with documents in any other format. I especially love genre projects, including science fiction, fantasy, mystery, thrillers, suspense, romance, and horror. If you're looking for guidance on formatting your ebook or print book for publication, I use Vellum, which produces beautiful books!

BOOKS
Part mystery, part office comedy — a quirky, clean tale of an amateur sleuth traveling between two parallel Earths to protect her tiny publishing company's secret and *finally* tell the perfect woman how she really feels as the bodies start piling up and the clock keeps ticking!

​
Book one in my new series! Twenty years ago, Jane Hawkins was a notorious (and never caught) serial killer. Now she's a cozy mystery writer. But when a nosy podcaster starts poking around in her past, and a copycat killer emulates her past kills, Jane is forced to come out of retirement -- and she is not happy about it!
