Born and raised in a tiny fishing village along the seacoast of Washington state, I was brought up with tales galore, filled with myths, superstitions, and legends of Native Americans living on reservations. I filed all the stories away, always knowing from a young age that someday I would write about them. The time has arrived and I have written three fiction books so far, all taking place in and around my birthplace.      

I graduated from Quinault High School as Valedictorian, with a scholarship to Grays harbor College. Later on, I continued my education at Peninsula college where I made the President's List with straight A's one quarter. Received a degree in accounting from Western State University. My first book Skye Dancer was chosen to be featured on the Washington State's Library website. Also named best mystery of the year by the Reviewer at Rebecca Reads.

My first book, a suspense thriller called Skye Dancer was published in 2003. The second one called Evil Lives in Blue Rock, a horror story, was published in 2005 and the latest Min's Monster was just published in May, 2007. It is more of a suspense/thriller with some gore thrown in, since the antagonist is a demented serial killer on the loose and after the young girl Min Wills. It is not for the faint of heart.
