About the author

I am a full time author. My family is awesome and all of them are storytellers in their own ways. My mom is a very talented woman when it comes to art and music. My sister is the athletic one of the family. She is also a budding artist and writer. My dad is a pastor, computer geek, and (yes) an author.

I personally love playing the piano and reading. And, as with any avid reader, I also love writing.

For me, writing is a way to dream with my eyes open. I discover these beautiful and dynamic worlds that challenge me to discover all their secrets. The characters are mostly very gracious about letting me step into their shoes. Others... oh, others are more challenging. These are the mysterious ones that keep me curious and always wondering what they are going to do next. Because, you see, they ALWAYS turn around and surprise me with something I was not expecting. Things that I should have guessed at a long time ago, but didn't. It's thrilling when the pieces click into place.

I want to thank my family for allowing me to talk their ears off about some world I discovered.
