Along with working for Fortune 500 companies in marketing and teaching MBA students strategic marketing, I also ran a gourmet cookie company. Cooking for a crowd runs in the blood, so my fridge is always full. I deal with stress by baking pies (just ask my college roommates what happened around exam time). My love for pirates began with Peter Pan, and continued with Pirates of the Caribbean, Black Sails, and ghost stories about pirates from the Outer Banks. I listen to Celtic music or epic movie soundtracks while I write. When life gets too serious, I read Calvin and Hobbes comics. Our pets have always been named after favorite characters: Mushu, Gimli, Luke, Indiana, Hobbes…Dead Pool (just kidding). I live in Ohio with my tall, dark and handsome husband and three children. And two hives of bees.
