Hey, I’m Hazel.
I write books. I practice law. And sometimes, I even get to sleep.
My Story
I grew up in East Tennessee, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains but currently live in Alaska with my family. I have over a decade of experience working with victims of violent crimes as an attorney, and I Was Never Broken is my first published novel.
When I’m not writing or working, I’m crocheting or watching sports with my family. I am a third generation Tennessee Vol and a rabid Detroit Lions fan.
I WAS NEVER BROKEN
Poppy Turner ran from an abusive relationship—straight to the one place she never thought she’d go. On her aunt’s farm, she’ll rebuild her life and find another chance at love, but her ex has other ideas.

What Readers are Saying about I Was Never Broken
“This was amazing. Different from what I usually read but I was sucked in.”
“This is a fantastic read! You have done such an amazing job...The issue of domestic violence is one that certainly needs to be brought out of the shadows. But the love story between Poppy and Luke is so real, and so believable, it off-sets the violence in a good way… I can't wait to see it in the bookstores.”
