My background is littered with pain, torment, torture and happiness.  From the age of 11 I grew up in foster care.  I have had many experiences and many different homes that some were wonderful and some were horrible.  Every single one of those homes made me who I am today and that is something I would never change. 

My major influences are James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Iris Johannsen, Catherine Coulter and my wonderful husband Michael.  If not for them I would never have attempted writing.
