About Me
I am a North Carolina native. I grew up on a farm with my maternal grandmother, my electrician father, a stay-at-home mom, a brother, a sister and the family dogs.
The baby in the family, with six years between myself and my sister, I had to develop a big imagination early in life to keep myself entertained. Later on, that imagination fueled my stories.
I began to take writing seriously when I had my first creative writing class in junior high school. After that, I was hooked on writing for life.
For 21 years, I worked at my hometown, daily newspaper. For a few of those years, I wrote a humor column. In 2000, I became the paper's composition supervisor. In 2007, I left the newspaper and now freelance as a newspaper, magazine and book layout designer.
My interest in writing began when I was nine-years-old, though I don't think I realized the significance of what I was doing. I started out with stories about the family dogs. I compiled these stories into my own version of a newspaper, which I called The Belvedere Press (after the cartoon dog, Belvedere).
The first thing I was ever paid to write was a weekly newspaper column called
Scenes From Real Life. I wrote this column for my hometown newspaper for four years. It was very popular in my community, so I branched out and wrote similar non-fiction stories for larger regional newspapers and magazines.
I began writing fiction in my early twenties, choosing the romance genre because that was what I enjoyed reading.
Three Things You Might Be Surprised To Know About Me
1. When I first met my husband, he was a Civil War Reenactor. For a few years, I had a little side business making clothes for other reenactors.
2. For three years, I served as a lay pastor at a small rural church.
3. I'm a real computer geek. I've studied programming, several different software applications, and I can also open one up and work on the hardware, too.
