Hi! I'm Florence!

I'm a writer, like you.

That means I understand the doubts, the stuck moments, and the endless second-guessing. The good news? I know how to cut through the overwhelm and make the process manageable.  

I’ve been writing for 20+ years and hold an MFA in creative fiction. I’m traditionally published and actively exploring indie publishing. The industry keeps changing, and I keep learning. One thing never changes: good writing is good writing.

I’m not only an award-winning romance author, I’m also a teacher with two decades in the classroom. My specialty? Turning big, intimidating goals into clear, doable steps.

When the path is clear, you’ll excel.
