Originally from the Chicagoland area, Danielle now resides along Lake Michigan’s beautiful Wisconsin shoreline with her husband, two young sons, and a Labrador puppy. When she’s not writing or reading, she enjoys fueling her creativity with tea, books, and the occasional nature walk in the scenic surroundings of her home.

Danielle’s love for storytelling began at an early age and has blossomed into a career of writing stories that both entertain and inspire. She shares:
“I love stories of romance and suspense. Two people defying the odds and getting their happily ever after. I also love history—a lot. It’s populated with people who faced insurmountable challenges and changed the world. Historical romance makes these people come alive and takes us to times and places about which we can only dream.”
In addition to her writing, Danielle has been connecting readers with their next favorite books since 2016 through her blog, where she shares book spotlights, author interviews, and other bookish news. She gravitates toward the Christian/Inspirational market, where the romance is clean and sweet, and the suspense keeps readers on the edge of their seats without the gore.

First mate David Martins is determined to help Adaleigh find hope again while clearing his estranged father’s name. Together, they must navigate the twists of a mystery that could cost them everything.
This captivating novel is filled with suspense, faith, and sweet romance, offering readers a story of second chances, hope, and love during hard times.
If Confessions to a Stranger draws you in, you’ll be excited to know that the Harbored in Crow’s Nest series continues with Refuge for the Archaeologist and Escape with the Prodigal, each book filled with thrilling twists and turns, all set against a backdrop of historical intrigue.

Whether she’s exploring the world or sharing stories through her books, Danielle’s passion for connecting with others shines through.
