About the author

I was born and raised in Washington state, where one of my first jobs was working as a freelance photographer. Earning my first degree in radio, television, and film, I started my "radio career" which lead me to Texas. I worked at several radio stations (Rock, Pop, and even Country music formats) and television stations in San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. I had way too much fun (yes, some of those adventures show up in my stories), but I wasn't feeling like I was fulfilling my purpose. I went back to school and got a degree in psychology, specializing in childhood and family issues. Eventually, I decided that I would rather be in education where I could assist students of all ability levels. I am currently a certified teacher in Texas.

I live outside of Austin with a full house of two-legged and four-legged creatures. I spend way too much time gaming but still find time to enjoy artistic creation in many forms (photography, sketching, watercolors).

2 1/2 stars
I have to say this book was a bit depressing which I guess is okay as the story goes and everything that has happened to them, but I have to say that close to the end of this book I don't really like the characters much either.
