I’ve always wanted to write. I remember reading the Little House books and wanting to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I wanted to write. I actually remember mentioning it in 5th grade when the teacher asked everyone what they would like to be when they grew up. I got shot down. “It’s too hard to be a writer” was the response, not from the teacher but from a student. That was the first of many, “you can’t do that”.

But here I am, having overcome everyone else telling me not to do something. I love writing. And I love it because it’s tough. And fun. And fulfilling.

I’ve studied the craft of writing for over 10 years. But it wasn’t until I found a writing community online, RomanceDivas.com that I started to actually write. Seeing others accomplish the dream spurred me into action. I’ve been able to call myself a writer since 2006. I have some flash fiction published online. I have one completed SF novella that will never see the light of day. I enjoy writing for tweens. I have a MG novel for boys, a time travel fantasy, completed and am currently working on a contemporary YA for geared toward boys and girls.
