I am an Advanced Open Water Diver, and I am NITROX certified. 

My passion for adventure has taken me to five continents to explore over 60 countries. I also play guitar and sing, when I'm not traveling around the world in search of new locales and new stories.

My love of history, treasure hunting, archaeology, and wreck diving helped me write the Riley Cooper series.  The first title is EXPEDITION INDIGO, and is available in print, E, and audio formats from all major retailers as well as Indie bookstores.

I served on the Board of Trustees of the PNWA,  and currently serve as Vice President of the Southeast Mystery Writers of America (SEMWA) chapter. She is represented by Jill Marr, of Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency. She lives in Georgia with her husband and a very large house cat named Valentino.

Expedition Indigo is the first in herRiley Cooper series, and introduces Dr. Riley Cooper, an archaeology professor from Boston thrust into the world of wreck diving and treasure hunting when she travels to Italy with a team of marine researchers to find and salvage The Indigo, a cargo ship that sank off the coast of Sorrento in 808 A.D.
