about Me
I began telling stories as a child. Whenever there was a sleepover,
I was the designated ghost tale teller. I still have a story printed
on yellow legal paper in second grade about a ghost, a witch and
a talking cat.
Writing childish stories for my own pleasure led to majoring in
English at college. Like most English majors, I dreamed of writing
a novel, but at that time in my life didn't have the necessary
focus and follow through. Then life happened. A husband and children
occupied the next twenty years. It was only in 2000 that I began
writing again. Fanfiction helped me reawaken that creative facet
of my life. Having an already created world and characters to
play with, makes it easy for a writer to work at the other aspects
of the craft.
I was content with my fanfic writing for a couple of years before
deciding it was time to create my own worlds. My friend, Lauren
Baker and I wrote Finding Home, and then I worked on getting an
agent or publisher. Meanwhile, I kept writing short stories, articles,
and novellas. Since discovering the world of e-publishing and
getting my start at Liquid Silver Books, I never stopped writing.
I now have the confidence to say, "I am a writer," and
the published works to prove it.
