I have always been a bibliophile and a closet writer. Many years ago, I found the joys of writing fanfiction, which provided an opportunity to “come out of the closet” with my writing. I enjoyed some success writing fiction for various fandoms—even winning several awards, but noticed that I most liked writing “alternate universe” stories, meaning that, except for the names and vague situations in common with the fandom I was writing for, most of the story was original. When the opportunity came along to finally publish original fiction, I grabbed it with both hands.



I live in Virginia with my two two-legged children, and three four-legged ones. My supportive family encourages my writing and provides a sounding board for fledgling stories. When I'm not writing, I teach children with special needs. In my free time, I read anything I can get my hands on, and haunt bookstores whenever possible. I also draw and paint (even sell some of my artwork), and enjoy the outdoors—especially if I can get to the beach—and I'm always thinking about my next story.

I have one book published to day, another on contract, due to come out sometime this summer, and have submitted a third for consideration. I'm also currently working on two more, with a long list of ideas to write about at some point.
