ABOUT ME

Who​ would have guessed, all those years ago, that I would someday be able to say, "I am a writer!"? 

​

I grew up an Air Force brat, which gave me the foundation to write creative stories -- I saw a lot of new places and met quite a few "characters" along the way. I still cherish the experiences and what they taught me -- flexibility, acceptance, respect, patriotism.

​

After graduating with a BAT from Sam Houston State University, I began my career as a teacher, starting out in first grade and, eventually, moving all the way to middle school and high school. Over the years, I taught general elementary classes (first and third grades), language arts, history, geography, economics, and computer literacy. I also found a love for teaching adults, with adult basic education, GED preparation, and English for Speakers of Other Languages classes.

​

Throughout that part of my working life, I wrote the occasional press release, many curriculum units, and related classroom materials, but writing was a sideline until about 2008, when I took a step past the light and became a freelance writer. Hundreds of articles, product descriptions and blog posts later, I found the opportunity to write fiction. I have now discovered my true career love!
