My love for books began when I read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm as an eight-year-old. Since then, I have never been without a book. My favorite is Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, which I've read eight times so far. I also love books by Stephen and Tabitha King, John Grisham, Nicholas Sparks, Barbara Kingsolver, and Joshilyn Jackson.
I started writing True Blue Forever on my thirty-ninth birthday, figuring I had only one more good year before it was downhill all the way. Seven years later with my second book published, my third finished and my fourth in the works, I am happy to report that the old adage "Life begins at forty" is true!
Birth Place: Chickasaw, AL USA
Accomplishments: I was the valedictorian of my high school graduating class, and I've won several awards from my various employers, but the accomplishments of which I'm the proudest are my three beautiful, gifted children--TJ, Tia, and Treasure.
