About the Author

While I was growing up, I moved a lot. I went to 3 elementary schools, 2 junior highs and then 3 high schools in three different states. To cope with it, I wrote stories. Then I went to college, got a job and had a family. I stopped writing. But I couldn’t stop forever. I started writing early mornings, late nights and weekends. Now I’m lucky enough to say that I write full-time. I also blog in hope to help other people get published, too.
