My first story was published when I was twelve. My high school English teachers encouraged me in my writing and my parents taught me to push myself to do my best in everything. I love the classics, in both music and literature. All through college, I wrote and sold stories and articles and even landed a job as an editor. I've been an art teacher, a preschool director, a librarian, and am currently a barn manager and a storyteller with my husband.

"Caleb's Daughter" was tied for first place in the Yarrow Brook Literary Review Best Book Excerpt contest and also awarded a Top Pick for 2003 from Romance Reader at Heart. Short story "The Girl Who Talked with Bees" placed first in the National Story League contest. Honorable mention in the children's fiction division of the 71st Annual Writer's Digest Writing Competition for my story, "The Five Gold Coins."

An interchurch couple, my husband and I wrote "Catholic Annulment: Spiritual Healing" which was published by Liguori in May of 2002. My first novel, "Caleb's Daughter," is published by Booklocker.com. We are working on a young adult novel, a collection of plays for teens, a book on tandem storytelling, two children's picture books, and a humorous book of bedtime stories for horses.
