My Biography

About me. Hmmm well. Organization is a bad bad word. I’ll get that out in the open right away. Anal people drive me crazy. Laissez Faire is my version of Hakuna Matata. In short, I’m a rebel without a clue.

I live in Southeast Texas with my husband and three children. I’m a transplant, not a native, though I grew up just next door in Louisiana. But “home” will always be Tennessee where I spent the first years of my marriage.

We live in an ideal location. Just an hour south of Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend and an hour north of the coast. My husband and I love to fish, so we have a choice between salt and fresh water fishing and can do so year round. We also love to hunt, and Texas has some of the best deer hunting around. Not as good as back “home” in Tennessee, but I’m not complaining ;)

How I got into writing. Well, as most writers explain, writing is something I’ve always done. I just never got serious about it until a very dear friend and I decided to do something about our dream to become published. This was late 2001. We both had babies in 2000, and despite the difficulties involved with writing while keeping up with budding toddlers, we were determined to give it our best shot. (Besides, the biggest obstacle was the fact we knew next to nothing about the publishing world) But hey, no one can call us cowards. We tackled every piece of industry news we could uncover. We joined lists, groups, cults (ok maybe not cults) devoted to writing romance, but most importantly, we kicked each other’s butts on a daily basis. We still do.
