About Me

Currently I'm a hobby writer with big plans. I write in my spare time and dream of seeing my work in print one day.

I'm both nervous and excited to say my most recent project, Firebird, is in the querying stage. It's been hard to let it go. After over four years writing, editing, stalling, polishing, stalling, and polishing some more, I've come to realize that it's as good as I can get it. It's time to take the next step and risk whatever may happen. **Fingers crossed** I hope that will be representation and eventually publication.

Beyond that, I have several projects in the works, a continuation/sequel to Firebird, another young adult novel I'm temporarily calling Timeless as well as a few ideas I'm currently nurturing.

I graduated from Radford University, where I majored in English with a concentration in business and technical writing and minored in media studies. I'm the digital traffic coordinator for The Roanoke Times/roanoke.com, which means I dabble in SQL, html, CSS and advertising. Also, along with book editor, Nona Nelson, I write The Back Cover book blog on roanoke.com.

I live in Southwest Virginia with my husband, daughter and four animals: two cats and two dogs.
