ABOUT ME

I wrote my first story in first grade and won an award in a regional contest where I met a real live author for the first time. I was hooked. I started writing seriously in undergrad at Mississippi University for Women where I graduated with a BS in Culinary Arts. I wrote my first book in 2008 when I was supposed to be writing my thesis for graduate school at Boston University for my MLA in Gastronomy. To take my writing to the next level, I completed an MA in English and Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University, and it must have worked, because two months after I graduated, I got an agent. 

​

I have a love for most things nerdy. You’ll often find me reading, writing, watching TV and movies, playing with my two adorable nephews, or knitting. I work as a Search Engine Evaluator for RaterLabs and have a freelance editing business.

I live in Huntsville, AL with the most spoiled cats you ever did see.
