After earning her medical degree from the University of South Florida, she built a career in obstetrics while raising seven children. Decades of witnessing the extraordinary courage of women facing life’s hardest moments turned her to fiction, and to the stories that never make it into the chart.

She has practiced in improbable places, including a Kenyan operating room lit by sunlight through a glassless window, where she closed a C-section with three sutures and considerable improvisation.
Her debut, Complicit, arrives from Mysterious Press in February 2027! She is Medical Director of OB/GYN at a critical access hospital in Homer, Alaska, and co-hosts the MamaDoc BabyDoc podcast with her daughter, a pediatrician.
