I wrote my first teen novel when I was thirteen and my first romance when I was seventeen. Of course, neither manuscript was very good, but I never gave up and after I finished Graduate school, I decided to take some time for myself and get back to my writing. I'm so glad I did!
I grew up reading faith-based books by Grace Livingston Hill so writing for Love Inspired Suspense is a dream come true. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my husband of thirty-three years. I'm a dog lover and had to put my Westie named Mac down a year or so ago. I still miss him, but I try to incorporate pets in my stories as much as possible.
In May of 2017 I was the humble recipient of the Wisconsin Romance Writers Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm blessed to be a member of such an amazing group!
