I grew up in the middle of no where. Population 1 person per 5 square miles. What do you do when there are so few people around? You sing to yourself while riding the bike, run when you are angry with your parents and get lost in the woods. I wrote my first poem when I was about 10. From there it was pure poetry with the thought, someday I'll write a book. It was the words of Kathleen Woodiweiss that propelled me. While I digested book after book, stories formed in my mind. It took another thirty years before I sat down and wrote Tikan Empire. The story pretty much wrote itself from book one all the way through book 6. Today I live with my husband and dog in Pennsylvania where I write, read, tend the flower beds and walk. I grew up in the middle of no where. Population 1 person per 5 square miles.

The characters tell me a story and I try to keep write it down. When the characters go silent, I ask them questions, what do they want? Where are they going? How are they going to get there? How do they feel about it? (less)
