About Me
I write stories that engage.
My skill is creating an intriguing story told by memorable characters.
My protagonists are 3-dimensional.
They are determined and conflicted,
smart and reckless...and vivid.
On the set in America's heartland: Somonauk, Illinois
Dueling Watchers
This charming farmhouse bakery served as the set where the amazing team from Honey & Hemlock Productions brought the story of Louise and Belle and Tika to life.
Logline
After an eviction splinters her family, a young girl runs away and discovers kindness from an unexpected source.
Inspiration
What inspired me to write Dueling Watchers is my desire to continue the compelling story of the DuLac family—the three generations of sassy, opinionated, and determined females who I created for my feature length, award-winning script, Sweet Dreams.
