    After a career writing for corporations and consulting firms, I am thrilled to be writing romance novels that highlight the beauty and bounty of the Mad River Valley. When I’m not writing, you can find me enjoying breakfast at The Warren Store, filling my basket with goodies at the Waitsfield Farmers Market, and working tirelessly to improve my après ski skills.

    Writing romance is even more fun than the Internet. Who knew?

    After decades in tech and 1M miles on planes, I am now rooted in the Mad River Valley: skiing, skinning, going to Lawson’s and sharing the specialness of this gorgeous place and community.


We started the Mad River Romance website and (upcoming) book series to share the wonders of the Mad River Valley with the rest of the world: the gentle Green Mountains luminous with alpenglow; the farmers market brimming with lush, local produce; the covered bridges spanning a river tailor-made for swimming, kayaking, and tubing.

We also started Mad River Romance to give back to the community. As our business grows, we are committed to share profits with the Vermont-based charities featured in this website and in our Mad River Romance novels.

Please sign up to stay in touch. Even if you can’t be here everyday, you can enjoy the Mad River Valley from wherever you are.
