Books are my TARDIS. Reading has long been one of my favorite pastimes. I've used books to explore many worlds, and I hope you do, too. Writing and editing are two of my passions, and publishing books is a dream come true.

Born in Renton, Washington in the old Renton Hospital, when they tore it down and replaced it with a K-Mart, we joked that I was a blue light special. I'm glad to see the initial investment has finally paid off. :)

Readers may notice I'm listed on several other books here on Amazon that I don't include here on my author page. My alter ego is as a freelance editor, and many authors were kind enough to put my name in when they loaded up their books. I was honored to help them polish their stories before they published, and I highly recommend those books if you're looking for a good read.

However, I am a contributing author in a couple of anthologies. I have a story in Pagan Writers Press Presents Yule and I have two stories in HerStory: Fiction Honoring Women's History Month.

Currently working on two new books, so more titles will be added to this page in the next several months.

I married my high school sweetheart, John, and moved to Oregon, where I spend my time editing books, writing new stories with my husband, and spending time with our children. Some of my favorite indulgences include Dr. Who (especially Drs 10 & 11), all things Harry Potter, homegrown tomatoes and lilacs. I simply love lilacs.
