I grew up in the historic city of St. Joseph, Missouri where the short lived Pony Express began and outlaw Jesse James came to an unexpected end.  I grew up reading, spinning stories, and listening to the elders talk about the old days.    I moved to the Ozark region in southern Missouri where I still live, now married raising three children and the odd bit of hell in what passes for suburbs in a small town.

I am a member of Romance Writers of America, the Paranormal Romance Guild, Ozark Writers League and the Missouri Writers Guild.
