About Me
When I was little, I would tell anyone who would listen that I was going to be an author when I grew up.
I started writing when I was probably ten or eleven. Nothing serious, of course, but I wrote a lot! These days those old stories are all boxed up in my closet, and that's better for everyone. I haven't stopped writing, though. Or dreaming!
With my lifelong goal of becoming a successful author in mind, I graduated California State University, Chico with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Creative Writing. I learned a lot in my writing classes and it wasn't long after graduating that I finally achieved the first crucial step in my goal--becoming published! I signed my first publishing contract in 2012, for a novella that's no longer available with a publisher that's no longer in business. Before that publisher closed its doors, I discovered Evernight Publishing, and in 2014 released the first book in my Night Shadows series under their banner. Several years later, that is a decision I am grateful for every day!
Outside of writing, I live a quiet life with my mom and my dog. I find inspiration all over the place and keep some kind of notebook basically everywhere I frequent (yes, they are ALL over the house).
I love hearing from readers, so please don't be afraid to send me a message via the Contact Me page! The only thing that would make me happier is a review of your favorite book... ;)
