I am happily married to the love of my life for thirty-six years. We have one son and three grandchildren whom we adore. I love to spend time with my family and friends, paint with water colors, scrapbook, travel, volunteer for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, kayak, and go camping.

I started writing when I was in Jr. High. I wrote poetry and short stories. After my son married and moved away, I needed something to occupy my time outside of working. I was at a bookstore one day and commented to the proprietor that I always wanted to write books, but didn’t know where to start. She gave me a phone number to a local author. When I called her, she advised me to join Utah Romance Writers of America. And, I have belonged to URWA ever since. The Utah chapter has been a wonderful way to gain knowledge of the industry and a great support system. I served the URWA as secretary and vice-president. I am forever grateful to all the wonderful members and opportunities to network. My purpose as a writer is to develop well crafted stories that will make an impact to my readers by addressing important issues that I am passionate about and to give them hours of reading pleasure.
