: About Me

I'm a full-time mother and a full-time worker who somehow has found the time to write two books (unpublished as of yet) and review for a wonderful paranormal book review site called Bitten By Books.

Everything I do, I do with passion, including procrasting on the next novel and putting off laundry to finish the next chapter.

My passion is ...

my family

I know too much about ...

actors who have been deceased for many years

My parents always told me ...

that my mouth would get me in trouble one day

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a vet

My favorite memory ...

is seeing my son for the first time

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Over Hexed, Vicki Lewis Thompson

My first job ...

Dairy Queen!

My best moment ...

walking down the aisle to the Hawaiian version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow

My inspiration ...

every person out there who says screw convention and goes after their dream
