About Me

I’m an American writer and business owner living in the UK. After a decade teaching English literature in Colorado, Bangkok, Mumbai, and Bali, I moved to Cornwall in 2015 and launched Bloomtown, the UK’s first certified palm oil-free body & skincare company, out of my kitchen. Two years later, I was invited to pitch on BBC Dragons’ Den.

I started writing fiction in 2021, and I’m currently querying a psychological thriller via The Novelry.

About the Novel

In January 2025, I began writing a psychological thriller about a true-crime podcast that goes viral when an anonymous tipster begins sending in entries from a dead teen’s English class journal, casting doubt on her suicide.

Set in Boston and a fictional town near Salem, the novel explores old money privilege, media ethics, and online mobs.

But at its heart, it’s about two women with nothing in common except the same decade-old tragedy.

How far will one go to protect the life she’s built? And how much will the other risk to expose the truth?
