Hello, I’m Nova
Stories with warmth,
wit, and a place to belong.
I write cozy mysteries and women’s fiction filled with found family, comforting settings, and a little adventure. As a former chef and caterer, I love bringing good food and good company to the page.
These days, I’m at home in Galveston, Texas—dreaming up mysteries, experimenting in the kitchen, and usually finding room for one more book.
