About this author

edit data

I've been writing since I was a child. I went from tragic love stories in high school to angst-filled poetry in college to character-driven books as an adult. I hold a Bachelor's in English and a Master's in Speech Communication. I use both since the two things I do most are write and talk. I put both these skills to work after college as an instructor at San Antonio College and Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, Texas.

I have three books out with TSTC Publishing, in their TechCareers series. I also have two short stories in the anthology, The Corner Cafe. Angel Sometimes is my first fiction book and is free to download July 27-29, 2012: http://amzn.to/KMvkOk . (I'm very excited to introduce readers to Angel!)
