I was born and raised in Oklahoma, where my roots in storytelling began. After serving three years in the Army, I moved to Nebraska, where I met my husband, Thomas. In 2017, our family relocated to Arizona, bringing along our two sons, Xander and Aiden. In 2024, our daughter, Grace, joined us from Maryland, completing our family’s journey to our desert home.

​

Our household is a lively one, shared with four beloved dogs—Dozer, Romeo, Snowball, and Loki—two turtles named Scarlet and Turd, and a guinea pig affectionately called Oreo.

I have always found joy and fulfillment in weaving tales that connect readers to history, emotion, and resilience. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I've loved writing them, finding inspiration in each word and every character along the way.
