About
I am a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic. My stories almost always have a happy-ever-after ending and leave you feeling satisfied that the characters have had or are walking into a life of complete fulfillment. I do, however, enjoy throwing in some thrills and twists along the way.
Along with being an author, I am an entrepreneur, wife, mother of four busy children, and volunteer at my local no-kill animal shelter. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Oklahoma State University and continue to reside in that state where I work with authors through my various companies and affiliates as well as pursuing my own writing.

Story Behind The Book
In April of 2009 I began submitting stories to the weekly challenge of FaithWriters.com. I didn't WANT to, however, the pressure of the hand of my long-time friend and co-writer, Patrick Sipperly, was unbearable against my back. To my surprise, my very first submission was awarded a second place in my level. I was thrilled and encouraged to continue. Since then, the majority of my stories have placed in my level as well as in the Editor's Choice top picks. I decided to compile some of these inspirational stories into a book exploring pivotal times and journeys in life.
While I would not call these stories "religious", they are positive and uplifting. I have always used reading as a time to take a venture outside my own world. I never wanted to go on a "trip" into sadness (even though that is often a part of stories just like in real life). I love the positiveness I can bring to my stories because there seems to be so much negativity in life today. I've fashioned my own writings to help my readers accomplish just that....a trip into the world of uplifting fantasy that hopefully leaves them with a satisfied aaah.
