BooksThe Written Word
From the moment I was introduced to soap operas like “The Young and the Restless” and “Dallas” as a kid, my imagination was set ablaze with endless possibilities. Combine that early love for drama with my lifelong passion for fangirling over boy bands—both real and fictional—and you get the unique blend of fiction I love to create. I call it “Fangirl-Friendly Fiction.” Think of it as Chick-Lit with a backstage pass to your favorite boy band’s world.

It's a FICTIONAL Love Story
From an early age, I was captivated by the world of books, whether it was losing myself in “The Babysitter’s Club” or sneaking in a Danielle Steel romance novel long before I was old enough for such stories. My love for reading was all-consuming.
It wasn’t until high school, however, that I discovered my passion for writing. Ironically, I failed my first semester of 9th-grade English but bounced back with a 99 in the second semester—proof that sometimes, a great teacher can make all the difference.
After high school, my creative journey took a new direction when I stumbled into the world of Backstreet Boys fan fiction. This outlet allowed me to experiment and expand my writing skills, inspiring me to pursue a degree in Creative Writing.
Although I eventually opted for a minor in Creative Writing (two additional foreign language classes weren’t in the cards), I dove into every course I could and have been writing ever since. Sure, writer’s block visits now and then, but inspiration often strikes unexpectedly—sometimes just from hearing a song.
In my earlier years, I made a few attempts at traditional publishing but soon realized the process was time-consuming and disheartening. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands, self-publishing my work on Amazon and other platforms. It’s been a fulfilling journey, and I haven’t looked back since.

My First Published Non-Fiction BookBackstreet Boys: 30th Anniversary Celebration
Over the last few months, my friend and BSBFangirls.com co-owner Emilia and I have been busy on a secret project that only a few found out about. It’s something that we never dreamed of doing before and are honored that we were asked to write a book celebrating the Backstreet Boys’ 30th anniversary.
The book, “Backstreet Boys: A 30th Anniversary Celebration,” is not a biography, but a look back at the group’s history and achievements, not only through stories and photos, but also through fans’ eyes. This book looks at the group’s triumphs and how they have connected with fans from all over the world – from the North America to Europe and beyond.

Fictional Work
FanFiction
For many years, from the time I was 18, I wrote fan fiction – specifically Backstreet Boys fan fiction. It’s how I found my love of writing. While many of the stories are no longer online, I do have a WattPad account where some of my stories can be found. The series below, “The Story of Us” Series, is one that I’m most proud of and is probably my favorite. Warning, this is not my best work.
