A Little About Me
I spent most of my career in food marketing, working with national brands and launching award-winning campaigns. But in 2021, I followed my passion for books and pivoted to publishing. In 2023, I launched my debut novel, Sea Magic. I also run a thriving Women’s Fiction Indie Author Support group and started coaching several members who were struggling with book marketing on the side.
Marketing a book isn’t just about selling—it’s about building a connection with your readers. I’d love to help you create a strategy that fits your strengths and sets your book up for success.
