I am a retired high school history teacher who enjoys writing. My first novel was Mary Grace and the Clarview Girls which was based on a true story about my family's adventurers in moving from Atlanta, Georgia to Ontario, Canada where I attended a Canadian girls' boarding school. I have been writing since I was in the 7th grade.

My current book was inspired by Teddy, my Chihuahua, that I adopted at an adoption fair. My husband and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. We selected a place halfway between Disney World and our church. My Christian faith has always been very important to me.
