  <about><![CDATA[Being a military brat, I was raised all over the world. 

Hearing the ocean roaring in and tasting the salt on my lips, is the my ideal situation. When land locked, I often dream of digging my toes in the sand and watching the surf. 

I loved dolphins before they were cool and got my belly pierced before it was the thing to do. Now I've taken it out as its the thing to do. 

I grew up in Hawaii and Virginia, and lived everywhere from Japan to half the continental U.S. 

I've been married for 8 great years to my soul mate, and we have the most adorable son in the world. My son is the joy of my heart. He's going to make some girl very happy one day. 

The most important thing in my life is Christ. Without my faith in tact, the rest of my life gets out of control pretty quickly. Without him in my heart, I wouldn't have made it through most of the hard times in my life. And thanks to him, I've been blessed with all of the above--family, friends, and opportunities to live life to it's fullest. 

No matter how hard life gets, I know I'm blessed just to be here and have my life!

I've been published in The Oklahoman numerous times with some free lance work for their magazines.  The last article I wrote was a cover piece, in which I got to interview Reba McEntire, an Oklahoma icon.  Currently I'm working on the sequel to my first novel, Finding Kylie.  Look for Facing Redemption coming soon.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Edgar Allen Poe, James Patterson, Frank Peretti, Nora Roberts, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>El Paso</hometown>
