My creative writing career started in the fourth grade when I published my first book.  It was a bestseller–mainly because my dad bought all ten copies I’d made on the school’s prehistoric Xerox machine. From there, I moved to newspaper reporting with a monthly column in a local newspaper.  A bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee landed me in Washington, DC, where I wrote reports for Congress while pursuing a Master’s degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University.

 

Aside from a brief stint in television production for NBC Sports at the Seoul Olympics, most of my early writing consisted of crafting lengthy government reports.  Not exactly the most scintillating backlist, I know!   My creative writing projects had to wait until I could squeeze them in between my paying gig and my family’s busy schedule. I finally realized the dream of becoming a published author in May 2013 with the release of my debut novel, GAME ON.  Many books later, I'm still doing what I love.

 

Currently, I live in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with my husband, and a wild Labrador Retriever named Harper.  I'm always happiest when my two young adult kids are here for a visit.  When I’m not writing, I enjoy working out but only so I can indulge in my most favorite hobby, baking. When I'm not doing either of those, my nose can be found buried deep in a book.  Be sure to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.  Or, leave me your email address to receive my newsletter. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by.
