An author with a passion for storytelling, years of dedication, and a strong connection to her craft. Though she never followed the traditional path to becoming a writer, she has built a world of rich characters and intricate plots that have captivated her readers. A non-graduate of high school, her early struggles with English and spelling were quickly overcome with the help of modern tools like spell check and Grammarly, alongside the unwavering support of her friend, Shari Childress, who has become an invaluable asset both as a critique partner and a source of endless laughter at her writing missteps.

​

The journey to creating The Curse began thirty-six years ago, sparked by the inspiration of a friend's story about wolves. With a determination to follow her passion, she began writing and rewriting, watching her characters and world come to life. Despite the early struggles and moments of doubt, she persevered, and the story grew into a seven-book series that continues to evolve.

​

A firm believer in God, she recognizes the profound inspiration she has received throughout her writing journey. While her books may not be labeled as "Christian" in the traditional sense, her faith remains woven throughout the series, guiding her work in ways both seen and unseen.

​

Having lived with her stories for so long, she knows each character, setting, and plot point inside and out—her imaginary friends, as she calls them. No question is too small, no detail too insignificant. Despite feeling vastly underqualified to write such complex, emotional, and often humorous stories, she proudly stands behind the work she has created.
