Warm, Character-Driven Romance with Humor, Depth, and Everyday Chaos

“Haunting and beautiful. In this richly atmospheric tale of smoke and echoes, a century-old journal propels the heroine into an adventure of family mystery, tragic fire, and a town’s dark secrets. ”

~ Author Em S. A’cor

“Lacey’s smart, witty, and overall goofy approach to her life and the strange things happening at her job were engaging and kept the pages turning!” 

~ Author Sarah McKnight

“Especially sure to please mystery-lovers, readers who appreciate a strong female protagonist, and anyone who laughs at science jokes.”

~Author Ann K. Howley

“The Treasures We Seek shows how letting our insecurities crumble like shards of pottery can be the first step in seeing everything finally come together.”

~Author Stacey Elza

Hi! I’m Cori 🎉

I believe that stories are better when you get a little bit of everything: the funny, the serious, the bold, the quiet, the challenging, and the exciting. I love writing stories that blend all the beautiful parts of life together with adventure, history, and romance.

If you enjoy authors like Katherine Center, Abby Jimenez, and Emily Henry, then you’ll love my books! I write about similar themes, but without the spice.

I’m the award-winning author of 14 books, including my recent sweet romance stories, found on this site. Ashes and Other Inheritances and Exactly What It Looks Like both launched in 2026 and will be followed by a funny workplace romance, Something Worth Keeping, in November.
