Have you ever wondered what it would be like to attend 18 different schools by the 10th grade? Ask me! Growing up in a military family had its challenges but it also provided me with an abundance of raw material for my stories. While writing has always been my passion, I've come up with creative ways of supporting my writing habit. I've worked in a feed and tack shop, as a dog groomer, a fragrance consultant, collection agent, bookkeepter,legal secretary, medical transcriptionist, a ghost writer and administrative assistant in a middle school. Life, for me, is always interesting!
