About

I haveworked with energy both as a yoga instructor and as a body worker for manyyears. When I left that profession, I was driven to write about energy and theparanormal. Many of the situations my heroines experience are created from myown encounters with energy, its power and possibilities.

As tothe "writing," well, that started when I was eight and penned myfirst book on pink construction paper with a purple crayon. It was a romancethat involved a princess, and although I remember very few details about theplot, I do remember that it was illustrated and there was music and dancinginvolved.

Atabout the same time I created my first story, I discovered Nancy Drew and mylove for reading was born. It has only grown over the years, and I am rarelywithout a huge to-be-read stack, and a book within easy reach.

Nowdays I write women's fiction and young adult novels. All of my stories combineromance, mystery, and paranormal elements. The paranormal, because it's a hugepart of my life, the adventure and romance because I haven't ever outgrown myearly reading adventures with Nancy, Ned, Bess and George.

I livein the frozen north with my husband, whose TBR stack is taller than mine, andtwo felines who have been known to add entire pages to a manuscript withouttelling me.
