Graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BS in Humanities. Live in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC on a small farm where I raise organic fruit and vegetables as well as dairy goats and chickens. Married 25 years to my best friend. Homeschooled 2 sons. Youngest graduated high school last year (feel like I graduated too!) I was writing little books ever since I was a little girl. Wrote and illustrated stories for my sons when they were small. Never thought I had a novel in me, though. I got the inspiration for the "Gate" time-travel trilogy at a Halloween party. Currently polishing 2 more novels while searching for the right agent who will help me find a larger publisher.  

Gate to Nowhere won Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year. Return to Nowhere was nominated for the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award.
