I’m a born and bred Texan, but like the George Strait song says, “Now I reside in Tennessee.” I’m a proud graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio – Go, Tigers! – where I learned to love really great Mexican food. Coincidentally, that’s also where I gained the freshman fifteen.
After college, I moved to Nashville where I earned a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University and met my wonderful husband. Our careers in ministry took us to Jackson, Tennessee, and then to Kansas City, Missouri, where my son was born. I started my first novel while in KC but didn’t sell a book until after we moved back to Nashville and had a second child, my darling daughter.
Now, lots of books and two grown children later, I wear a lot of hats — mom, wife, writer, sister, mother-in-law, friend — just like so many other women. I’m lucky that I love being all of these things. The challenge is keeping up with all the demands!
I’ve had the opportunity to write historical romance, chick lit, mystery, and women’s fiction. All my books do have two things in common — heroines you can root for and generous helpings of humor! I love a strong female character and lots of laughter. When I’m not writing, I love to watch sports of all kinds, cook dinner for people I love, and binge a Netflix show or two.
