I was born in Plainview, Texas, in the Texas Panhandle. After 45 years I moved to the country, in North Central Texas, during the Summer of 2000.

Books and reading have always been important to me.  I’ve always been an avid reader.  I believe you must be able to read to succeed.  And through this, I have found that dreams do come true!

I cut my teeth on authors such as Louisa May Alcott, Anna Sewell, and Mark Twain.  I discovered the Nancy Drew Mysteries and could never get enough of them.  Much later, I discovered romance novels and devoured the writings of Janet Dailey, Diana Palmer, and Kay Hopper.  I also enjoy a good cozy mystery, but my favorite book of all time is Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.

When I was a young girl I would hide out in the garage storage room of my childhood home and write stories on a Big Chief Tablet.  I would sit on an overturned bucket and use a wooden orange crate for a desk.  This was my first attempt at writing stories and they were about the colorful characters in my hometown neighborhood in the 1960s.

I love reading romances, but even more than that, I love writing them.  My goal is to create entertaining love stories that will leave you with a feel-good warmth inside.

My romance writing career began over 40 years ago with the writing of The Power of Love, while raising kids, helping with the family business, and attending PTA meetings. My husband and I have two grown daughters. The oldest is a historical romance author and a public school librarian. The youngest is an avid photographer and works in the oil and natural gas industry. We shared our home with our sweet little Pixie-Bob cat named Bobby Jo until she passed away on March 4, 2022. She was with us for 11 years. Our sweet Red Heeler dog named Buddy now owns the house and it didn’t take him long to take on the role of the only child.  I thank my husband and our daughters for their support and believing in me.  I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. My husband and I have been married for 48 years and we retired together on our 46th wedding anniversary. I spent 35 years in education and he spent 22 years in education, plus over 30 years in the public sector. We are now enjoying some well deserved “us” time after our retirement. My plans are more reading and writing!

I am an avid collector of books, writer’s autographs, thimbles, wizards, bookmarks, and rocks from all over the world. I have great friends and family that bring me gemstones from their travels. I also like to crochet and love making afghans. I am a long-time member of Romance Writers of America and a PAN member of the organization.
