I've always been passionate about reading books but it wasn't until the year 2000 when I discovered a passion for writing them. I had been working for a large corporation and knew that something vital was missing in my life. I found "me" when I found writing.

Looking back, I can now see all the clues pointing to the fact I was meant to be a writer. Clues like the many notebooks I filled with stories, poems and letters…the numerous times my brothers claimed I "dreamed" something when I swore it really happened (okay, so maybe it was in my imagination)…the time in high school when one of my best friends called me a nerd for using big words all the time (hey, can I help that I love words?)…the conversations I have in my head with all kinds of people – oh, was that revealing too much? Oops.

Not long after finding the writer in me I got married and in the next few years had two amazing little boys. Having other demands on my time has only strengthened my determination and discipline. I write when I can, often in the evenings after my kids are in bed or on weekends when dad can take over.

So that's where you'll find me, slaving away over my current manuscript most evenings and weekends. You won't find my books in any bookstore yet because, for now, I'm unpublished. But I feel such passion for writing the stories in my head that I know without a doubt someday you'll see my name on a bookstore shelf. Until then, I'll keep writing all my stories and hope that soon one of them catches the attention of my dream agent and publisher.
