I'm a stay-at-home, home-schooling mom of three boys. Like most authors, I've worked a plethora of jobs over the years, including teacher, foreign missionary, secretary, publications editor, budget analyst, accountant, data entry operator, file clerk, choir director, church pianist, fry cook, and chief bottle washer. When not writing, I enjoy critiquing other writers, teaching creative writing to other home-schooled kids, painting murals, singing in the church choir, and keeping the local librarians busy. 

I embraced the challenge of writing a novel in 2000, just before my first son was born. Six novels and three short stories later, I'm hoping for an agent, publication, and a vanilla frappuccino that won't settle on my hips. I'm an avid reader of fantasy, science fiction, and mystery. I tried reading a prairie romance once, but after ingesting copious amounts of chocolate and coffee, the urge went away.
