My Story:
A Child's Dream Becomes Reality
I was born and raised in Yakima, Washington. Most of my family still live there. It was in elementary school that I developed my love of reading and writing. I was offered the chance to attend the local Young Author's Conference at the Community College, with other students around the city. It was then as I sat listening to local authors and college professors talk about what writing was that I knew someday I wanted to become a published author.
​
Over the next 30 years I became a wife and a mother, telling stories to my children, writing poetry, Church Christmas Programs, Vacation Bible School stories, and Sunday School stories for children. Many stories have been left unfinished on my computer hard drives over the years, but they won't stay that way forever. Someday, they too will be published .
​
In 2001, I moved to Eastern Missouri, about an hour south of St. Louis, which is where I reside today. During the summer of 2011, I began writing my first novel, UNTRODDEN DESTINY, the first book in THE FALLS COVE SERIES. I am excited to share this story as well as my other stories, including SECOND CHANCES with you all in the upcoming years.
​
Today, I am still raising my family. I am the mother of 6 children, 3 of which are now grown and on their own and I am soon to become a grandmother. My husband and I are enjoying our time with our family. When I am not with my family or busy writing, I am busy with Bible Study Fellowship International and teaching the youth in our Church. I hope you will all enjoy my stories as much as I do.

I'm usually not a reader of books that are fantasy or cannot occur in "real life." However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. It is well written and kept me interested. I didn't stop until i was finished!
