So, this is where I am supposed to write a little about who I am. Well, here we go...

I am a woman who wears many hats. I am first and foremost Wife and Mother. Family time is the most important thing to me. Our family loves fishing, camping and anything outdoor. Year round we are also involved in watching our son play soccer. Next comes full time college student,author and photographer.

My life is filled with many joys, but writing is a passion that I have had since I was a kid. I feel very blessed to be able to share my work with the world and hope that you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
