edit data

With a shriek heard from sea to shining sea when her first book, Heartache and Hope, was accepted for publication, C.L. began her journey into the world of storytelling. Having raised a husband and three children, C L. spends her free time reading and enjoying her life. After acquiring a wealth of experience in consumer and mortgage finance, software support, and nursing, C.L. is ready to nurture her creative muse.

A self-described romance novel junky who considers tequila a food group, C.L. began hearing voices and was alarmed until she realized there was a cast of characters banging around in her head, demanding their stories be told. Not wanting to let them down, she keeps her laptop nearby and her thesaurus handy.
