Born in Dallas Texas in 1959 I was the middle of seven children.With only enough money to cover the basics of living we never went out for entertainment. My father who was 47 when I was born would tell stories that more often than not were pretty spooky. I learned to love the art of storytelling at his knee and developed a vast imagination that I have been able to feed and encourage throughout my life. I do not limit myself in my writing or any other areas of my life. I believe like the Romans did, I must expand or die.

My geatest achievement was raising 8 very responsible and wonderful children who constantly make me proud.
