Hello! I'm a Christian writer, a wife and mother, and Nanny to the four cutest little scalawags on the topside of the earth!

Hubby and I transplanted in 2008 from Bakersfield, California - where I lived most of my life prior to that time - to Okmulgee, Oklahoma. It has taken some major adjustment, but we do love our new home. Wonder what God has planned for us here?

I write inspirational romance. My novel, Goldeneyes, released in 2008, through Vintage Romance Publishing. White Rose Publishing made Yesterday's Promise and Destiny's Dream available in 2010, and a children's book, Mine!, released in January 2011. Destiny's Dream was Book 1 in a series called Solomon's Gate - it was followed in 2011 by Kylie's Kiss and in 2012 by Gypsy's Game. God is GOOD!

I enjoy reading and writing, of course (doesn't every author?), singing, playing piano, word games, and loud, happy family gatherings ... above all, I love God and family - both natural and spiritual. Here's hoping I'll meet a bunch more of the spiritual variety right here on ShoutLife!

My bi-monthly newsletter, "The Bookshelf (for Readers and Writers)", has been well-received. I'd love for all of you to join my e-mail list (which I guard like a mean junkyard dog)! You can see this month's edition at http://bookshelfnewsletter.blogspot.com.

When I'm not writing or doing any of the things I already mentioned, I like to design bookmarks for authors, using the cover art from their books. It's a lot of fun, and the designs sometimes turn out so attractive even I am surprised! You can see more of my work on my website, but here's a tiny sample:
