In
a previous life, I was a graphic designer for fourteen years. In my
current existence, I'm a stay at home mom with a desperate need for
a creative outlet besides Crayola crayons, Play-Doh and finger-painting.
Besides writing, I also do freelance web site design and portraits on
commission. I've been told my artistic creativity often shows through
in my stories. That, and the quirky side of my personality I try to
keep reined in when I'm around grown-ups.
In between mommie duties and
freelancing, I'm at work on my third manuscript, a medieval time-travel
called Fire of the Dragon, which is turning out to be
a lot of fun. And now that my youngest child is in kindergarten, I have
assumed the life of full-time writer.

daughter who likes dragons more than dolls, a young son who wants to
drive monster trucks when he grows up, and Maxie, the blind wonder dog.
