THE BOOKS
I've written two fiction books: one a young adult adventure fantasy and the other a suspense-thriller. Both are set in the rural Upper Midwest with strong female leads. I'm working on second novels to both books with the goal of eventually have a trilogy for both books.

​
Life has been hard on Sig and she isn’t taking it any longer. Stuck on her uncle’s farm in South Dakota, it’s time for her to make a break. With her mom locked away in a treatment center, she’s running away to find her long absent father. But she’ll need the money she’s swiped and hidden in the haymow of the farm’s old barn. As she digs her way through the hay bales to retrieve her money, the unstable stack collapses, pinning her to the back of the barn. Crushed and running out of breath she’s sure she’s a goner. Then the wall’s boards break from the hay’s weight creating a hole which Sig tumbles through. Her landing is hard, made even harder by discovering she’s landed in a different world, dark with evil and danger. Even stranger is the barn cat who jumps through the portal with her helping her navigate through this strange world, and a difficult journey of discovery.

Inedible
ISBN-13-978-1481281812
Life forces hard choices upon people. Sometimes they have minor consequences. Sometimes they have harsh consequences. Which outcome prevails can be difficult to predict. Like many people, Jessica Bergstrom has job pressures—deadlines, a cranky boss, a meth-addled co-worker out to kill her. As a public health veterinarian at a meat packing plant, she knew the place would be rough and dirty. What she didn’t know was the depth of the corruption between the industry and government agency regulating it. When Jessica uncovers the truth she faces difficult choices—keep quiet and keep her job or fight and lose the job: and possibly her life. At once a dramatic glimpse at the modern American food industry and the the blinders a regulatory agency wears to keep an uneasy truce with a powerful business, Inedible is a story of courage and honor in the face of danger, and, ultimately, making the right choices.
