Like you, I've faced a blank page, a deadline, and wondering what was missing on the page to make a scene pop!

I'malso a USA Today bestselling author of Romances, YA and Urban Fantasy, who has proven with her successful Alex Noziak and Kelly McAllister series, that using body language on the page creates stories that will engage readers, so they are eagerly awaiting the next release.
Those who have worked with me before know I thrive on sharing knowledge and first-hand experience with writers, with workshops, online courses and by authoring the best-selling WRITING ACTIVE SETTING and WRITING ACTIVE HOOKS.

I'm also the co-author of BREAK INTO FICTION® with NYT author Dianna Love with its groundbreaking, template-based approach to plotting commercial fiction.

I am a notionally recognized teacher and guest speaker in live and on-line workshops where I have helped thousands of pre-published and published writers across the globe move their writing to the next level.
