About the author
I was born and raised in Utah on the foothills of the spectacular Wasatch Front, where life as a kid was magical. Summers were spent hiking or swimming in the neighborhood pool, winters were for sledding down mountain hills.
I acquired my love of reading from my parents. My mother was a librarian and stacks of books were always close at hand. I wrote my first (more than three page) story in fourth grade. Tobie, my heroine, bravely solved The Mystery Behind the Iron Door. I took writing classes in college and stories began to develop.
I write happily-ever-after stories about real people going through the trials and tribulations of life.I love my job, from blank page to the “ah-ha!” moments when a story comes together.
I live in Northern Colorado with my husband five of our eight children, and one of three grandchildren.
