Who I am

I'm a retired Physical Therapist turned full-time fantasy and science fiction writer, wife to a brilliant man, and mom to the best three kids you'll ever meet.

​

I drive my minivan like a Maserati, race 5Ks so I can indulge in chocolate chip cookies almost every night,

and I believe:

    

- Everyone comes to stories to glimpse the extraordinary. We live with characters and recognize, "Hey! That's me! And I'm awesome, too!"

​

- Sunrise malasadas on Haleakala in Maui should be on everyone's bucket list.

​

- Sundays are for Jesus and Formula One racing.

​

- Wrinkles are a sign of a life well-lived.

​

- Confidence, Kindness, Perseverance, Hope, and Courage are the most attractive qualities a person can develop.

​

- Everyone deserves unconditional love and acceptance.
