About

How did I get here?

It took a caffeine-fueled car trip with my 92-year-old grandmother and two-year-old son in July of 2007 to awaken my Muse. That story would become my first book as I figured out how, exactly, one writes a novel.

Let's just say the learning curve was steep.

One character led to another. Before long, my characters were in South Dakota, among the Lakota Sioux tribe. Modern-day cowboys who are the Indians - without planning it, I find myself writing about the people and places that held my imagination throughout my childhood.

Here's the official bio:

I live in Illinois with my husband, son, and rescue mutts. I write full time (which is how one publishes that many books in that short a time period). When not chasing my son around or tweaking my books, I attempt to read, craft, and complete a home improvement project in my historical 1895 Queen Anne house.
