I was born with the soul of a writer and would often tell tall tales as a child.

I write for various print and online publications, but my first love will always be fiction. I am working on my first novel, Dyeing to Meet You. I can also be found crafting short stories for anthologies and ezines.

I live in the Arizona desert with my husband, son and rescued dog Mocha. When not huddled over my keyboard, typing furiously, I like to cook Thai food and other culinary treats.
