About
Hi. I'm an author of comtemporary romance and have 7 novels published at this time. Living in 'the bible belt' and being a 'born again' christian, I have to keep my books clean (No explicit sexual scenes and very few curse words). LOL!
Born in Athens Tennessee, but spent a large part of my childhood in Detroit Michigan. At the age of 13, I returned to Tennessee and attended Etowah High School.
I graduated Godsey's Beauty College in 1981 and worked as a hairdresser for 12 years. In March 1993 I closed my beauty shop and started my career in Glamour photography. I loved the traveling, 30,000-40,000 miles a year. Some of my novels were inspired by the many interesting people I met and the places I went.
