About Me

I decided that I wanted to be a writer at an early age. I think it all began with the movie, Romancing the Stone. I wanted to be Joan Wilder. But, more than that, I wanted to write about all of the adventures that she was going to have. I must admit those first few drafts were pretty rough. But the more I wrote, the more I learned. All through school, I was writing. Each class I went to, someone was waiting for a new chapter.

As I got older, I did what everyone does. I got a 9 to 5 job to pay the bills. But writing was still my passion. A few close friends at the office began reading my books, and soon I had other co-workers coming up to ask for chapters. On the advice of Roxanne St. Claire, I joined Romance Writers of America. Getting involved in the national organization and my local chapter has been invaluable. It has not only taught me a lot about my writing but it gave me a group of friends who truly understand.

I am originally from Indiana. Corn country, as I like to call it. At the age of fourteen, we moved to Orlando, Florida. As much as I like the warm weather, I miss Indiana. It will always be home. But moving to Florida gave me some wonderful friends, and of course, the man I married. He is the best husband in the world. He is always supportive and never fails to have a shoulder that I can lean on. He understands that my writing is a passion, and always cheers me on. Together, we live with our son and two cats.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing video games and watching movies. I love to travel. My husband and I were blessed to be able to take a cruise through the Mediterranean for our honeymoon. I have been to Italy, Greece, Spain, Sicily, France, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Curacao, Martinique, and various states in the United States. I would love to go to Egypt, Ireland, Scotland and England.

I love to meet readers and other writers, so feel free to drop me a line.
