I began my author career as a technical writer. My first manuscript formed over years of creating characters and story line.

My aim is to engage, entertain, and enlighten my audience. I enjoy the feedback and discussion I get from my readers as much as writing itself.

When I published my first book in May 2015.
I plan on finishing my NA series and writing more in the YA genre.
A piece can never be perfect, it just must be finished at some point. I have a hard time just letting my manuscripts be.
My family is very supportive. My teenage daughter helps me with graphic choices and story plots sometimes.
Tobi Helton of Forget the Housework, I'm Reading blog texted me two days after I sent her my first book. "I bought your second book already. They are super addictive," she wrote. Her thoughts made my month.
I love being outdoors. My favorite activities are hiking, running, and biking.

I've been friends with author Tia Bach for ten years. I let her read my then 150,000 word manuscript and she nudged me towards publishing.
I have been so blessed to meet so many wonderful people through my experience of publishing. At my first writer's convention I met a girl, named Amanda who was about to begin her freshman year at college. My main character's name is Amanda and in the first book of my series she is beginning her college career, it seemed like fate.
