Born in Canton, Ohio on March 14, 1984 and raised by grandparents in a small place called Newcomerstown. Growing up in a small town with hardly anything to do, I used my imagination a lot. As I got older, the Little Golden Books and Disney books from childhood were replaced by the works of Anne Rice, Edgar Allen Poe, J.R.R. Tolkien. From an early age, I fell in love with science fiction and fantasy novels and movies. It wasn’t long before I decided to write my own. My own characters, my own stories, my way. Currently, I reside in Newcomerstown with my husband, Matthew, of nearly five years.
