An unabashed optimist, I live in a small northern metropolis (can you use small and metropolis together?) where I have the best of both worlds. In less than an hour's drive I have wide open spaces to the west and lakes and timber-wolf prowled woods due east.
I write romantic suspense with a focus on psychological journeys because underneath the trappings of our outward appearances, we're really all the same. I take great pleasure in putting my characters through Hell and then rewarding them with a happy ending. I'm also fascinated with the paranormal so I usually (okay, always) have some element of that in my books.
When I'm not reading, writing or teaching Zumba, some of my favorite activities happen in the great outdoors with my adventurous hubby and two enterprising children. We have a lake cabin where our nearest neighbors to the south live in a beaver lodge and our neighbors to the north reside in a 500 pound eagles' aerie. We kinda like it that way.
We kinda like it that our human neighbors stop by all the time, too. LOL.
My professional experience includes work in education, IT, the long term care industry, and ghost writing, though being a mother has been the most profound experience of my life. I am a member of three fantastic writer organizations: the Romance Writers of America , Kiss of Death Mystery Writers , and From the Heart Romance Writers.
If you get a minute, drop me a line and let me know a little about you. I'd love to hear from you!
