Welcome

My name is Kayla and I live in North Lake Tahoe, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Along with snowboarding, wakeboarding, hiking, paddleboarding, and golfing, I love to read, write, and drink coffee.

As a full-time freelance writer, I regularly contribute to the Sparks Tribune and Enjoy magazine. To see samples of my work, view all of my recent articles here. I’ve also written a few books.

I'm also excited to announce that the second edition of Northern California Road Trips that I co-authored with Stuart Thornton is out in stores now! It is the perfect companion for a trip around Northern California, spelling out where to go, what to see, and what to do in the state's coastal and inland regions. This comprehensive guide also includes a variety of maps, images, and information about national parks such as Lassen, Crater Lake, Yosemite, and more. I hope you enjoy reading Northern California Road Trips as much as I enjoyed writing it and that you find a place (or a few) that you connect with.

 Catch my reading on NCRT and insider tips at the Washoe Co. Library System's Nov. 9, 2024 Author Fest. 

For the last 20 years, I’ve also done a variety of marketing/content writing for lots of different industries. If you are curious what they are or what I specialize in, find me on LinkedIn.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kayla
