Writer and homemaker, I share a nest with my husband where native trees -- Mesquites and Desert Willow -- shade our little home in rural Arizona. As animal lovers, there is always some mix of adopted darlings. We've moved past the horses, an Iguana, and domestic rats, but we still have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Our two sons and two grandsons also reside in Arizona with their families, thank goodness. One son has horses so we still get to ride. My husband's former Army and I'm an Air Force veteran who faithfully love God and our country. I'm currently writing a mystery paranormal romance. (I'm not sure that's a real genre... Oh well) My first: Hello, Jesus - A Fun Christmas Cookie Story -- was important for me to write. I wanted to honor God with my first published work, especially hoping to encourage children to experience the wonder and comfort of prayer. I read just about every genre: mystery, romantic crime, fantasy, historical romance, post-apocalyptic, and biographies. I believe to write well, you have to read well and often, fiction and nonfiction. Currently I'm reading a Robert Galbraith (J K Rowling) crime series. Each book in the series is better than the last. She's a hell-uv-a prolific, obviously hard-working writer and a good example to follow if you're so inclined. All I can do is follow my own dream and Write on!
