Welcome to Souls by the Sea

Explore the lives of women navigating the opportunities and challenges of life's second act.

About the Series

Each novel stands alone while sharing a common setting, recurring characters, and themes of friendship, resilience, self-discovery, and personal transformation. Whether confronting difficult family dynamics, reevaluating friendships, pursuing long-forgotten dreams, exploring matters of the heart, or encountering experiences that challenge their understanding of the world, women in the series discover that growth remains possible at every age.

The series is set against the backdrop of Florida's gulf coast, reminding us that the sea is a timeless symbol of change, renewal, and possibility. I hope you find the books in the series entertaining and emotionally engaging.  Stories combine heart, wisdom, and hope with characters I hope you find relatable to your own life experiences.

For readers who believe it is never too late to begin again, *Souls by the Sea* is an invitation to explore the many ways ordinary lives become extraordinary.
