About Me

Hey, peeps! Thanks for checking out my web site.  I thought about importing my bio from Amazon but if you can read it there, why would you wanna read the same info here?


So, here -- in no particular order -- are some random facts about me:

• I have been writing stories for as long as I can remember.
• I crashed my car -- through my parents' bedroom -- when I was 17.  And my dad was with me in the car.
• I believe in fairies.
• I was a military brat and moved around more times than I can remember.
• I saw Jaws when I was six...while living in Hawaii...and it scarred me for life (thanks, Mom!).
• I love turtles.  Like, I want a bathtub full of them. I have been known to pull over -- anywhere, any time -- if I see a turtle in the road to help it safely cross.  Just call me the Turtle Whisperer.
• I have three kids who somehow manage to simultaneously inspire everything I do and drive me nuts.
• Who would I rather hang out with on a Friday night: teens or adults?  TEENS (which is probably why I write YA).
• I majored in English Lit and read Frankenstein seven times throughout college.  Guess my professors really liked it...(I do, too!).
• I own the largest cat in the world. And the largest bunny.  Seriously.  They are MASSIVE.
• I can't think of any job I'd rather have than being a writer.

These are my two kittens.  They are no longer this tiny and adorable.  But this is how I like to remember them.  This is how I need to remember them.  Because they are often very, very naughty.

 And now, here he is. Tigger. The LARGEST. CAT. EVER.  Please, if you have photos of a larger feline, share them.  Because I honestly don't think one exists.  For reference, that's not a kid's size flip.  It's a ladies size 7...
