Vanaf jonge leeftijd was deze auteur gefascineerd door verhalen en weefde ze haar eigen verhalen nog voordat ze kon schrijven. Ondanks vroege ontmoedigingen om een literaire carrière na te streven, keerde ze terug naar haar passie na aanvankelijk als bibliothecaresse te hebben gewerkt. Haar romans duiken in de complexiteit van liefde en menselijke verbinding, vaak doordrenkt met een diepe waardering voor geschiedenis en de ingewikkelde dynamiek van relaties. Ze definieert romantiek niet alleen als grootse gebaren, maar als een diepe daad van waardering en zorg voor geliefden.
