About
I live life by one simple quote..."When Life Gives You Lemons, Throw Them Back and Scream, "Limes, Motherf&%$er, I Want Limes!"
It's this rebellious attitude that started me on the path of writing fiction novels. I write because it allows me to escape the routine of every day life. I write about relationships, not just romantic relationships. My books focus on the relationships between friends, siblings, lovers, and parents.
My characters are a reflection of the people I has encountered along my journey to find who I am as a writer and as a person.
I am "just a small town girl", born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. I now live in Atlanta, Georgia. I often think of Atlanta as a place were dreams are formed and then people get out to live them.
My writing career began at an early age. I was just in high school when I began working on me first novel. As I studied Biology at Georgia State University, I began my second novel, Change of Heart, and quickly decided that Biology wasn't where my talent lied. Despite many protests, I switched to Creative Writing which was instrumental in jump starting my career.
I often say that music is my influence and without it, I would not be alive. Other than music, I also enjoys reading and watching movies, and spending time with the people I love.
