Her writing often concentrates on the complexity of love and emotions and the struggles of finding your destined path through life as well as overcoming life's tragedies and misfortunes. She combines psychological complexities and human emotions to create very real characters experiencing life in a very real way. Her books focus on redemption and forgiveness and learning to build on what has been broken.
Much of her inspirations come from the amazing love she shares with her new husband, Justin Robinson, and the emotions around falling head over heels in love with your soul mate. She and her new husband are also big animal rescue enthusiasts and have 16 pets as well as volunteering with multiple animal shelters and rescues. Together, they own a zoo of rescues including 2 dogs, 3 cats, 4 kittens, 1 box turtle, 1 snapping turtle, 3 smaller aquatic turtles. Her celebrity idol is Ellen DeGeneres, she even named her adorable little certified service dog after her (a Shih Tzu-Bichon mix named Elly) and she never misses a show, thanks to the powers of DVR!
CHAPTER ONE
Kate Jackson knew that she had just entered a moral gray area as she hugged her purse against her and walked out of the police station onto the dingy streets of Washington, DC. The photograph was burning a hole in the bottom of her purse that seared against her like hot flames of guilt. She knew that she had just knowingly and willingly withheld evidence from Detective Liz Snow regarding the police investigation into her attack. In fact, maybe it wasn’t a moral gray area at all. Maybe it was a plain black and white case of wrong and right and Kate had picked wrong.
She stepped off the sidewalk and looked down the street both ways as she crossed the intersection, thinking about what had just transpired. It had been just two weeks since Kate had been attacked in her apartment on a late Sunday evening. She had just gotten home from a weekend getaway to the Delaware beaches with Derrick, her handsome boyfriend of six months. She and Derrick had finally defined their relationship and committed to exclusivity after six months of Derrick resisting any type of label.
