About the author

Movies play in my mind and I am compelled to share them with words. Topics change, vibes change, and the twists will come. My goal is for my readers to forget about life for a while and get lost in my crazy worlds.

The Shadow Women of Penderton Asylum

At the turn of the twentieth century, hysteria was enough to strip a woman of her freedom. Confined to Penderton Asylum by husbands, fathers, and doctors, a group of women discover how easily society can make them disappear. As punishments harden and hope narrows, they form a covert alliance with each other and a few brave staff members…to attempt the unthinkable: ESCAPE!
