Born in Birmingham, Alabama, and adopted at the tender age of 3 months by a wonderful Christian couple in Live Oak, Florida. I grew up on a farm, participating in 4-H and learning that earning your own money to pay your way through life is one of life's most valuable lessons. My parents brought me up in church, teaching me respect and moral values that are still important to me to this day. I was able to give back to my wonderful parents by helping my father to care of my mother who suffered with Alzheimer's Disease and by taking care of my father who passed away from Cancer only one year before my mother passed away. I spent the biggest part of my life there up until 2 years ago, when I met and married the love of my life and moved to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas.

Together my husband and I are raising the youngest of my five kids from a previous marriage and slowly remodeling one of the oldest houses in the small rural town we live in. We spend an incredible amount of time traveling to see our six grand-children, which means that a lot of the writing gets done on the road, and some of those grand babies tend to pop up in these stories now and then.
