My stories were seeded in the South where I grew up. Storytelling has always been a part of my life, forming me at an early age by sitting around a freezer of homemade ice cream while my grandfather spun tales. My father continued the custom on lazy Sunday afternoons sitting together under a big Maple tree in our backyard. My mom gifted me a love of reading by taking me to the library every week for a huge load of books to read. I would check-out the most books you could at one time and be ready for more by the next trip, ready to browse the rows and run my hands along the spines of books again.

Storytelling has always been a part of my life, forming me at an early age by sitting around a freezer of homemade ice cream while my grandfather spun tales. My father continued the custom on lazy Sunday afternoons sitting together under a big Maple tree in our backyard. My mom gifted me a love of reading by taking me to the library every week for a huge load of books to read. I would check-out the most books you could at one time and be ready for more by the next trip, ready to browse the rows and run my hands along the spines of books again. I continued my family's traditions by telling our daughter stories when she was a little girl to help her fall asleep, after finishing our ritual of reading books together at bedtime.

Life interrupted my plans to write with good memories and sad times, but I haven’t regretted one minute of the wonderful life I’ve lived so far. All these moments gave me strength and courage and love and plots. Lots and lots of plots and details.

After moving back to North Carolina in 2003, my desire to write was a constant hum in my body, but I couldn’t find the right direction to start. My daughter suggested I start a blog, so I did, and began blogging book reviews as I dusted off my writing skills. Now, I'm writing novels and short stories.

I have a BSBA in Business from East Carolina University, with a concentration in Human Resources where I worked as a Director at a group of Home Health Agencies. Our family moved frequently around the southern United States, gathering friends and learning new traditions until my husband's next transfer. After he left the corporate world, our family of three + plus dog moved back to North Carolina and brought a small business in 2003. We wanted to be closer to our families and help them as needed. We ran our sign company for 15+ years and again my time was well spent listening to the stories of our customers and finding creative ways to help them promote their business.

I'm finally pursuing the advice I received in a fortune cookie my first year back in the state, “Someday you will write a book,” and now I have. I'm working on my second. I've published a short story in "Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women" and hope to have another one publishing next year, while I'm vigorously editing my second novel. I write women's fiction with a touch of mystery and history. I’m a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), the North Carolina Writers’ Network, and a terrific writer’s group. I live in a small North Carolina coastal town where I write and read, golf and go to the beach.
