Her novels include Spiral of Guilt, The Savior, Fatal Justice, and A Killing Fire, a dark, southern Gothic tale featuring homicide detective Raven Burns. A Killing Fire is first in a four-part series.

Her work has been called 'intense', 'pulse-pounding' and a 'solid contribution to a genre lacking in Black women authors'.
