I was born once upon a time, and I started making up stories right away. Eventually, I started writing them down, and never stopped! I have a day job, which gets in the way of my writing, but it pays the bills so I CAN write, so I guess that's okay! I am a bookworm, which I think is key to being a writer, and I am always looking for inspiration! I live in Indiana, am obsessed with hot chocolate, and I am on track to be the best aunt in the world.

My time in the Navy was well spent, not only because of the flying and leadership skills I learned, but also because it is where I met Dean, the “one whom my soul loves,” and the one who has shown me love in action, as well as sacrificial support.
