About Me

Writing is my life. I spend the bulk of my time concocting new and ingenious ways to make my reader laugh. If I can't make you spill milk on yourself or spew coffee on your screen while reading my work or laugh, cry and feel for my characters along their journey, then I haven't done my job. I take that very seriously.

When I'm not writing, I love to read. I hoard books like they're going out of style and have squirreled them away all over the house. My husband just lifts an eyebrow when I acquire yet another mystery novel or bring home a shiny new piece of romance - or whatever the genre of the week is. What can I say? I love reading which is why I'm a writer. I've always had a love affair with the English language in general and vocabulary in particular.

Oh, then there's my other love--baking. Cookies, cakes, lasagna, whatever. Cooking frees my mind and gets the creative juices flowing. There's nothing more rewarding than pulling a dish out of the oven in all its golden, brown, and delicious glory. When I suffer from writer's block, the kitchen's the first place I head. Of course, this means I often have a surplus of baked goods that must be given away...

In case you're wondering, I've been married nine years to the most wonderful, patient, funny guy in the world, we have no children, and are currently contemplating the thought of owning a cat. My husband and I call central Indiana home and if you can't find us here, we're probably laughing like kids and setting our imaginations free in Walt Disney World.
