“I love dramatic, heart-felt stories. I love mixing the magic and wonder of an anything-can-happen kind of world with the daily lives we all struggle with. It adds a sense of hope and adventure to whatever we’re dealing with, be it health, financial or personal problems. Taking a break from the every day grind to think positively and see a possibility of something good happen to you soon is what keeps people going even in times of great struggle. Since my elementary librarian showed me classics like The Secret Garden and The Little Princess, I’ve loved romantic tales of hardship and hope. Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys were the next stop on my reading journey, but when it took too long for Nancy and Tom to talk about their relationship, or even kiss, I discovered where my real interests lie. Ever since, I’ve been a fan of romance--every form, from contemporary to historical, every day to paranormal, sweet to hot, it’s the relationship that draws me the most. It’s what makes me want to write, to show love in all it’s forms and create a feeling for all my readers that this kind of happiness really can be found. Your soul mate really is out there somewhere.” After moving around most of my life, I settled in Spokane, Washington with the love of my life, two gorgeous daughters, three neurotic cats and a medium-haired Chihuahua. Busy, crazy, struggling, I’ve learned to fill life full of what matters most: God, Family, Friends and Creativity.
