I am a reformed shy girl who found my voice (and uses it...a lot). I believe in magic, coffee, Starburst candies, genre fiction, descriptive profanity, and cackling over wine with good friends. A recovering Dr. Pepper addict, I know the only addiction worth feeding is the one that comes with characters and dialogue.

I also believe in the transformative power of second chances. Cheers to works-in-progress of the literary and lifelong variety!

I currently live in my beloved southwestern US desert with my family, three dogs, two cats, and a rotating cast of invisible friends (aka very demanding characters).
