About the author

I write twisted tales of strong women defeating evil, creepy stories with a paranormal angle, and rowdy characters full of joy and humor.

I grew up wandering the streets of Historic Downtown Jonesboro, Tennessee, where I absorbed the town’s rich history, fed my already overactive imagination, and twisted my ankle on many a cobblestone. I saw ghosts in the old buildings and homes and couldn't rest until I'd created their stories. I never outgrew that obsession.

I am an unapologetic voyeur when it comes to old houses and I have an unhealthy obsession with creepy staircases. I love research and enjoy a deep dive into old stories.

I'm happily married to my amazing and supportive husband of thirty years, am mother to two young adults and I've recently become a grandmother to a beautiful baby boy!

I share my home with my husband, a lazy Boxer and two rather demanding cats. While I am a southern girl at heart, I currently live in Michigan and am loving every minute of it! Plus, it's hard to have a hot-flash when it's ten degrees outside.
