Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of books do you write?

A: I write historical fiction set in mid-20th century America, focused on faith, family, and the quiet battles we carry inside.

A: No on both counts. My stories wrestle with Catholic themes and characters, but they’re written for a general historical fiction audience. If you like Geraldine Brooks or Mary Doria Russell, you’ll find a familiar balance of history and humanity here. The novels also explore themes of love, but are not category historical romance and don’t include the traditional happily ever after.

A: Perfect for book clubs and readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction with moral complexity, forbidden romance, and a richly detailed 1940s American setting.
