I'm a writer, a teacher, an editor, a wife, and a mom to six kids. I know that's a lot of kids. I didn't know what I was getting into when I started having them. But since I love them to pieces, I guess I'm stuck with them.

So how did I decide to become a writer? I wasn't one of those people who always knew they wanted to write books. Looking back, it seems so clear to me that I should have known. I simply love using my imagination. I've used it all my life, much to the dismay of my parents and teachers. I was and still am a hopeless daydreamer. Any problem in life can be solved with imagination, and magic, don't forget the magic.

Along with the stories in my head, I've also read a lot, like a bazillion books throughout my life. I decided on a whim to try my hand at writing. It only took me a day to get hooked. I'll admit, I wasn't very good at it at first. But after a decade and a half and millions of words written, I feel I'm getting the hang of it.

I love writing about heroes and heroines, and I'll admit, I also love a good villain. The stories I write are mostly fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal, and horror. And there will absolutely, always be a bit of romance entwined in my stories. I don't see much point in writing a book without it (at least not for me).

Now that you know something about me, I'd love to hear something about you. What do you like to read? And if you write, what do you like to write? And then let me know what you thought about my books. What did you like? What didn't you like? I really want to know. I do hope you enjoy them and I hope you love reading them as much as I loved writing them.
