I am a forty seven year old mother of three living in Naperville, Illinois. I am married to a fifth grade teacher, who is my best friend and soul mate. Being a mom for the past 23 years has been my privilege but really didn't allow me the time to pursue my first love...writing. I put my love for writing on the back burner while I carted kids off to soccer games, baseball practice, and back home to make dinner and help with homework. By the time my head hit the pillow I was off to dream land where my imagination flourished. 

 After my grandmother passed away I decided that life was too short to put the things we love on hold. The next day my story took flight. I felt compelled to put the words inside my head to the pages of my old school notebook. I wrote freehand whenever I could and the more I wrote the more the characters came to life. Carter and Vie began having conversations inside my head daily and I found myself addicted to writing their story. Nine months later I finished Descended (Fallen Guardian Saga #1).
