I graduated from Eastern Michigan University and live in Rochester, Michigan. I am a single mother of three amazing children who have helped me rediscover my love of writing. I started writing in 2009 and discovered there were many stories within me that I wanted to share.

Sometimes I'll skip to a part I see more clearly. For example in "Solace: Lost" I couldn't see a pivotal scene near the end, but I knew the ending so I skipped ahead and wrote what I knew was going to happen. Then I kept reading over what I had written. It ended up that I had to play some head-banging music(Godsmack, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine...) to write the scene. A lot of times, I jump to a different story entirely and work on that until the voices for the previous book get "loud" enough for me to see what happens next. (less)

No shows this year, but...

 A lot of bumps in the road this year, so I will not be at any craft/vendor shows. However, depending on how quickly the people editing my books get through my stories, I will have three books out next year. (I'm still working on ideas for the covers, and finishing up the third book... and there's a good chance that this story isn't done because I have a lot of notes in my manuscript about what sh
