I am a writer, reader, author, and publisher. I am a mother of two, mostly grown, children and a wife. I consider myself a jack of all trades and master of none. I like working with my hands so when the need or desire arises, I crochet, sew, tile, paint, cross stitch, frame pictures, stain furniture, cut and split fire wood, x-country ski, train and ride horses… But my main love is writing. I started writing in college (a while ago!) and haven't stopped since. For a reason I don't really know, ʼround about 2003 I decided I wanted to write a novel. Up to that point I had been writing short children's stories, but never pursued publication. In March of 2008 Rosebloom was born. And as any writer can tell you, it was a birth! It was perhaps a bit more for me since I self published the work, which isn't particularly hard, but just takes a lot of time. (I didn't use on online method but went through a brick and mortar printer). In 2010 I published book II in the series - A Burnished Rose - and I'm busy on the screenplay for that same story. I published the third and final novel in the Rose Series - Rose from the Ashes - in September, 2012. I am also working on a memoir for a friend who is a recovering addict. Recently I wrote a short Christmas story titled, The Red Velvet Box, because I was inspired. My newest book project is an historical fiction novel about the creation and creators of Nancy Drew! In general, I love writing and reading, and I'm having the time of my life!

Rosebloom won an IPPY award for historic fiction in 2008.
