Ello there! My thing for stories started in Wichita, Kansas with copious amounts of Nancy Drew novels. In the second grade, I wrote my first story about two feisty miniature schnauzers. I then discovered another creative outlet in theatre, embracing my tendency to speak with accents and wear fancy costumes.
Several productions of Oliver! later, I took a creative writing class at the University of Central Florida and rediscovered my love of the written story. With the support of my husband, the incomparable Jon Bennett, I began writing novels.
I'm still writing, still learning, still exploring and healing. I love grace--and honesty and journaling and a good conversation over chai lattes. I also love my wee daughter Charlotte who is feisty and all things great. Our little family lives in Central Florida where we shamelessly bask in the sunlight.
