Bio

I’m a writer living in Minneapolis with my husband and two daring cats. I’ve always been fascinated by hidden worlds – the wiry insides of old gadgets, the strange workings of secret societies, the mysteries of people’s minds and hearts. I’m into that as a reader and a writer, too.

My Disillusionists trilogy (Mind Games, Double Cross & Head Rush) takes place in a fantastical and shadowy Milwaukee/Chicago, a place of many secrets. It is no coincidence that I grew up in suburban Milwaukee & Chicago, always wondering about the deep, dark city.

I work a day job as a marketing writer; I’ve also put in time as a shop clerk, a cocktail waitress and a plastics factory worker, which I was dismal at (think I Love Lucy). Also, I can relate almost any life experience to one or another Star Trek episodes, and if you invite me to your party, your entire cheese plate will be in grave danger. I can be found reading in bed, running, helping animals, or eating Mexican food.
