I was born in Fort Morgan, Colorado the eldest of six children. I lived in Montana. Now I reside in wonderful eastern Washington state, Spokane Valley, the heart of the Inland Empire. This area is known for it's bright blue skies, glistening rivers and lakes, plus the diverse communities. The four distinct seasons make it possible to enjoy the great outdoors ~ swim, camp, hike, bicyle, corss coutnry ski, or the nearby metropolis lends itself to world class concerts, theater productions, first class dining, and sporting events. We're also voted in the top 25 cities to raise a family which is just what my husband and I did. We have 3 grown kids, and grandchildren as far away as Texas.

When I sat down to write my first romance, God revealed so much to me about myself, my relationship with Him, and the whole beautiful process of creativity. As I've studied and learned the craft of novel writing, I've made so many friends along the way ~ ~ other writers, booksellers, fellow readers. There is a joy and a peace by living beyond myself in Him. Finding my significance in Him.

As I strive to convey the stories the Lord has placed inside me, I recognize His faithfulness. He's shown me how unique my life experiences have been and how special I am to be His child. God has placed within me an eager wonder that drives me to explore things I don't know, things I don't understand, things I have to share with others about Him.
God's given me a vision about stories that declare the love of a man and a woman which has its basis in faith in the living God, in Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of my faith.

As my writing journey unfolds, I'm continually amazed at the providential hand of God on my life. His ways are past knowing. He's shown me that my story ideas never come from the same place or in the same way, but God always reveals His truth.
