Devouring two or ten books per week as a young'un, I was rationed books by my parents like most kids get rationed candy. So, of course I turned to writing to tide me over between fixes. I love to get lost in a story, whether reading or writing. Nothing is better than being drawn into a story so deeply you don't realize you're turning a page until you've reached the end, and the characters live on in your heart and mind long after the cover has been closed.

I've lived in the suburbs of the Mid-West, desert of the Southwest, and foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Since moving to an island in the Puget Sound with my husband and dogs, I've learned to play a mean game of 5-stand, catch squid, clams, shrimp, and crab. Good thing I like shellfish.
