About the author

I've been writing since I was a child. I went from tragic love stories in high school to angst-filled poetry in college to character-driven books as an adult. I hold a Bachelor's in English and a Master's in Speech Communication. I use both since the two things I do most are write and talk. I put both these skills to work after college as an instructor at San Antonio College and Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, Texas.

I have three books out with TSTC Publishing, in their TechCareers series. I also have two short stories in the anthology, The Corner Cafe. Angel Sometimes is my first fiction book: http://amzn.to/KMvkOk. Angel Sometimes won a USA Best Book Award. (I'm very excited to introduce readers to Angel!)My second book, a mystery/suspense, Dismembering the Past, is now available. If your bookstore doesn't have it in stock, they can order it.(It came out very recently.)

I have a husband, two children, and a house that is always in need of dusting. I'm not wild about cooking, but for some reason my family likes to eat.

Born in Georgia, I grew up in Texas, where I've lived since I was ten. I've got relatives spread all over the States, from Texas to California to Minnesota to North Carolina to Alabama to Florida. A few of them actually admit that I'm family.
