…going back to my childhood. I was that kid huddled under the blankets with a flashlight, reading deep into the night. My mother (also a writer) gifted me my first typewriter at age 7—and since then, I’ve never looked back.

A storyteller for my entire career, I’m a bestselling novelist and award-winning editor, as well as a content creator and communications specialist. I believe it’s story that connects us as humans, creates bonds, and provides memorable, enduring experiences.

I love to hear stories, write them, edit them—and celebrate them in all forms.

Fiction

The Colorado Book Award-winning anthology Denver Noir feature dark, morally ambiguous stories set in and around Denver. I was honored when Akashic Books asked me to edit the Denver volume of their celebrated Noir series, and I’m proud to have curated and worked with an incredible lineup of contributing authors.

The Bookseller is my New York Times bestselling debut novel. Slated to be a motion picture produced by Julia Roberts, The Bookseller tells the story of a 1960s-era Denver bookstore owner who's caught between a dream life and a real life.

My second novel, the USA Today bestseller The Glass Forest, was noted by Forbes as being one of "Five Novels With a Remarkably Strong Sense of Place." It’s the story of a complex family in which a family member goes missing.


Content Creation and Business Storytelling

As a content creator, I offer extensive experience writing and editing a variety of communications, including online content, blog posts, marketing materials, newsletters, ad copy, and ghostwritten material. As with fiction, I believe that business writing that employs storytelling engages audiences and creates memorable, results-oriented material. For more information, click here.
