About Me?

I’m an artist. The medium I choose depends on my mood. Some days I feel like painting with oil sticks, but most days I paint with words. I enjoy writing historical westerns, time travels, futuristic romances and fantasies.

So how does it feel to finally receive acknowledgment for an obsessive compulsion to write? Wonderful. I am so blessed to have an editor believe in my work. I queried Champagne Books and two other e-publishers on March 24, 2005 with a partial and synopsis. The following day, I had a request for the full. And a week later, Champagne Books offered me a contract. Five hours later, one of the other e-publishers requested a reading of the full, and I had to politely let them know it was no longer available. The hardest part was waiting a full year until the book made its debut.

So who am I really? I’m a native Texan with the twang to prove it. I consider myself well rounded (in more ways than one) with an interest in dance, music, visual arts, sailing, camping, sewing, gardening, and of course, writing. I hold a BFA with a major in art and a minor in math. Yep, that’s right, math. You know that whole right brain/left brain thing? I tested right down the middle. Oh, and here’s a side note. At one point in time, I worked as a dental assistant. I took a pretty mean x-ray. But that was many moons ago. Now, I just work at my art and write. I’m married to a wonderful man who works as an investigator during the week and a carpenter during the weekend. Our home is filled with pieces of handbuilt furniture. I am also blessed with two wonderful children.

And that, my friends, is who I am. I hope you enjoy reading my sci-fi futuristics and my historical westerns.
