I grew up in Northern Illinois. I have always had a passion for writing and reading.  I have a BA and MA in English and I am starting a new degree program for distance Learning this summer. 

My first novel was published in 2003.  Since then, I have beenworking on several projects both indepentently and in a partnership with fellow AD author, Melissa Crosson.

Some of my favorite authors include Robert Frost, Anne McCaffrey, Robert Asprin, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Dean Koontz and a new favorite James Patterson.
