Born and raised in Arizona, I live with my husband, two dogs, and four cats. Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. For the moment, I write somewhat dark poetry and fantasy books. The pentalogy I have been working on, "A Realm Hereafter", has been in the works for about 11 years now. I got the idea when I was in high school and it took me 7 years to finally sit down and get serious about it. The first book, The King's Son was meant to be a stand alone book, with no continuing story line. Though it ended the way it was meant to, the way that I'd always planned, I felt compelled to continue. Now the story has grown in a way I'd never expected and, I believe, is better for it. I finished the fifth and final book in the series A Realm Hereafter in May 2013 and am currently in the editing stage of a new fantasy book aimed toward adults. When I've finished, I have plenty of stories floating around my head just waiting to be written. Happy reading!
