Background: I grew up in a small, quaint town in Kentucky. The youngest of three girls, I was usually the most imaginative, thus usually in trouble. Worked summers in tobacco fields pulling and setting plants. I'm a nature lover, gardener, part-time photographer, and cook enthusiast. Influences: Reading, to me, was and is a way that I could have adventures, experience different centuries, places and people without leaving home. I've always admired any writer that could provoke a reader's senses. To make a person cry, laugh, angry, and love by mere words is truly a gift. I aspired to become a weaver of such tales and through hard work and a lot of determination, I am finally living my dream.
