Content Warnings

This content warning list contains spoilers!

My books are intended for adult audiences, except for my debut novel, My Life as a Country Album, which was a 16+ new adult, coming of age story. As an author, I find great joy in writing characters who face life’s challenges with resilience and healing while they find their happily ever afters. I’ve done my best to address all situations my characters encounter with respect and caring.

If you are sensitive to certain content, please review warnings before you read one of my books. Your mental health is important to me. I’ve done my best to accurately reflect the triggers, but I may have missed one, so please feel free to let me know if you encounter one and believe it should be mentioned.

As over half of my stories are romantic suspense, you will usually find some, or all, of the suspense elements noted below in those books. My books all contain open-door, explicit sexual content, profanity, and alcohol consumption.

Please note:

On page means a potential trigger occurs in a scene as the character experiences it
Off page means potential trigger is told in flashback, dream, discussion of the past, or other non-direct action or via a secondary character’s subplot.
Romantic suspense elements include physical violence, explosions, shootings, stabbings, kidnapping, murders, assaults, poisoning, death, blood, and injuries, as well as the anxiety and fear that come with these situations. Rarely are the scenes overtly graphic in nature.
