I've loved literature since my mom first read me Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven' when I was 13.
I devoured poetry, short stories and novels from then into adulthood, and had many different kinds of jobs, leading me to write my first novel in 2013.

then, 10 years later, I released Book 1 of a cozy adventure trilogy. Guarding Gus released in October 2023, and What to Suspect When You're Suspecting releases in Fall of 2024.

We will see what happens after this!

“Remi sighed dramatically, clearly for effect. “Everyone expects me to be such a brooding and bloodthirsty killer. I VANT to DWAIN your BLOOD, and all that nonsense. I mean, I drink as needed, but,” he shrugged noncommittally, “I'm not tortured. What I truly crave at my age is new experiences. I can help in many ways, c’ va, and it seems like you could use an extra hand.” He waved his hands in the air, jazz hands fluttering.”
Karryn Nagel, Guarding Gus

“The stranger, crouching down beside Nico, turned to him with a huge grin on his face. “You know what I said to myself this morning?” he said, somehow managing it both softly but quite friendly. “I said to myself, 'Self, what this afternoon really needs is a good old-fashioned shoot-out in the middle of the street.' What is this, the Wild, Wild West? Ridiculous.”
Karryn Nagel

“As Brant listened intently to Nico share about his transition, his mind was crowded with questions and curiosities about the process of transforming from a girl to a boy — to a man, he corrected himself silently. He wasn’t sure what was okay to ask, and he didn’t want to offend his new friend. He considered where his questions were coming from, and found that they were mostly about wanting details that felt VERY private to ask a relative stranger. He filed most of his questions under “none of his business” and landed on the most important one of all, the one that had to be answered.”
Karryn Nagel, Guarding Gus
