I was born in Coffeeville KS and moved to Idaho when I was 4. I grew up in Murtaugh, ID, a very small town. My father was the ditch rider and was in charge of the Murtaugh Dam so we lived right on the lake. I spent my summers from sunup to sundown at the lake, it left a lot of time for me to work on my writing. I married when I was 17, but sadly my husband past away after 18 years of marriage. We had two children and with my new, and wonderful husband, we together have seven. I live in Idaho with three of our children, two are grown and moved out and two live with their mother, seven dogs, five cats, four turtles, one snake, eleven rats, three ginuea pigs, and four ferrets. We have a large zoo...I mean household. I love to write and spend time with my family.
