I was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Growing up, I loved to read teenage romance novels. I was blessed with a vivid imagination and the ability to tell stories in great detail.

As an adult, I went into photography and graphic design. I loved taking pictures and capturing moments in time forever. Storytelling, in one form or another, has always been my wheelhouse. 

As a teenager, I created a world with characters that I loved dearly. I abandoned that world as an adult and moved on to other things. Eventually, I revisited the world I created many years ago and my characters. I decided to take the story and make it into a book. Having never written a book before, I wasn't sure how it would go.

The moment I sat down to write, the story started pouring out of me. That one book turned into two, and a series was born. My love of dance is what inspired my books and how The Dancer Series was created. 

I'm the mom of a blind Alaskan Malamute named Dasher. I love iced tea, chocolate, pizza, the beach, seashells, Eagles music, and Northern breed dogs. I'm also an avid Bates Motel fan.
