Called “a nail-biter” by Publisher’s Weekly, her thriller story “The Scent of Amber and Vanilla” received an honorable mention in The Year’s Best Crime & Mystery 2016.
Considered to be the mastermind behind the Uncollected Anthology project, she also edits anthologies, and her own short fiction has been lauded in year’s best anthologies in erotica, mystery, and horror.
