She practiced law in Washington D.C. and San Francisco. To have more time to write, she transitioned to Matthew Bender and Company, a national law book publisher, where she started as a legal writer and rose to an executive editor. Many of her novels take place in the vicinity of San Francisco, California, either in the future or in the past through time travel. Her early works are recognized as cyberpunk. She has also written paranormal romance, historical romantic suspense, comedy, and a screenplay.
