I've been an obsessive reader for as long as I can remember and started writing at a very young age. One of the first books I read that really stuck with me, really made me want to write, was Sweet, Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers-which I read eight times, starting when I was around thirteen... probably too young for such a racy book :-)

I now love to read thrillers, paranormals, and contemporary romance.  Some of my favorite writers, although it would be impossible to list them all, are Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman, Sharon Sala, Jordan Dane, Dean Koontz, Lisa Gardner, Merline Lovelace, Stephen King, and many, many others.

I was thrilled a few years ago when I finally realized my dream of publication. There is nothing I enjoy more than creating stories to share with others. I belong to Oklahoma Romance Writers of America, whose members have been a true blessing and inspiration, particulary one special and very giving lady, best-selling author, Sharon Sala. I've also met a lot of fantastic people through The Wild Rose Press.

I resided in Kansas City for three years, where I joined Heartland Romance Writers and was fortunate to meet a whole new group of warm and talented writer friends. Although I'm now back home in Oklahoma City, I consider Kansas City my second home.

I have three beautiful, grown children and an incredible network of family and friends who have given me loving support and encouragement as I've pursued my dream.
