The Shadyside Collection

What's Your Shady Side?

What I've Built Along the Way...

I've worn more hats than a runway model at Fashion Week—and every one of them taught me something bold, messy, or magical.

I'm the author of The Shadyside Novels, a bestselling fiction series rooted in confessions, resilience, and reinvention.

I built The No Fear Collection™ to help others step into their own reinvention—something I know a thing or two about.

Book Cover

Dressing Room Confessions

Out Now!!

Dressing Room Confessions is the novel that started it all. Set in a chic boutique where women bare secrets as bold as their style, it’s a story of confession, transformation, and fierce female truth-telling.

Shadyside isn’t just their hometown—it’s the mirror reflecting every woman’s untold story.

Some tales are fact, some are fantasy, and all of them beg the question: what’s your shady side?

“It is refreshing, sexy and fun. A must read and one you will certainly share with your girlfriends!”
