I've been writing since I was 8 years old. People often ask me where my ideas come from for my novels. They come from all around me, but most often from my dreams. I have some pretty crazy ones! Two of my favorite authors are L.J. Smith (young adult fiction) and Frank Peretti (Christian fiction). They have a wonderful way of telling a story. They pull the reader in. You can't help but get emotionally involved in their novels.

I served as fencing club president & division representitive for the 2000-2001 year, took 1st place in Writer's Arena's Anniversary writing competition, 7th place in eWriters Place's Holiday Short Short story competition. I currently own the Writer's Arena writing group, & have recently founded Writer's Support Network, an organization for writers & those who provide services to writers.

Secrets of the Maiden is no longer being published by Publish America. I am currently working on the sequel, and will release the two together when ready. I have one young adult novel called Bookworm making the rounds at publishers right now, & another in the editing process. Most recently, I began Moon Willow, a fantasy based on characters created on a message board.
