I am a lifelong resident of Ohio. My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 20 years and we have 4 children, although 3 of them are now adults. I have spent my career in social work and have a passion for helping others. I was diagnosed with Crohns disease 15 years ago which has been both a blessing and a curse. My illness has prevented me from continuing to work (the curse) which allows me to pursue my passion for writing with many less time-restrictions and focus my energy on being a wife and mother (the blessing).

​​

My writing is often sparked by a true story which creates a cast of fictional characters/situations in my mind. In addition, I sprinkle pieces of people’s true-life stories they’ve shared with me throughout the years into my fiction as a way to honor many of the tragedies and joys that people live through.
​
In addition to God, my family, and writing, I love coffee, traveling, reading, HGTV, true crime podcasts/TV and naps. I believe that a story lives in all of us and that it’s important to share ours with others, never knowing who will benefit from what each of us has to say. Sharing our stories not only helps others, it changes us as well.
