I
wanted to share with you today a little about myself and why I write the genre
I do. I have lived in Arizona and Tennessee, but Arizona is my home. I
have discovered wealth is not measured in how much money you have but in how
much love you share.
I
have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Tom for 24 years, and we have
two remarkable children, Shaelee and Erik.
As
a young child, I loved reading and writing. Many nights I would wrap up in
a blanket, and daydream while I turned the exciting pages of a book. The
books would take me to many places, but mostly to the
1800’s where I lived with the American Indian. I loved the idea of going
from the normal world in which I lived, then instantly I would be taken to a
place far away.
To
my surprise, I started writing and creating my very own world. A place
where I could go and lose myself with just a pen and paper.
I
grew up with the fascination of the American Indian. My love for them grew
by leaps and bounds as I read about them from my history book. I wanted to
show, in my writings, of the proud people that the American Indians truly
are. They show honor and respect for all living things. If I can
capture just a small portion of that in my writings then that would be an
added bonus for me.
Native
American mystery and romance is my passion. I hope to reveal in my books
the uniqueness of the American Indian. I feel truly blessed to try
and reveal how special the American Indians truly are.
The
love of my family and the love for the American Indian have become focal points
in my stories. I will do my best for both of them.
I
sincerely pray readers enjoy the characters that I bring to life on each
turning page!!!!
I have received Cambridge Who’s Who twice,
and I have published numerous articles in newspapers. I am a 911 dispatcher,
which I truly love. My family is my life and when I am not writing, working, or
sleeping, I spend my time with them.
Well I hope you have learned some things
about me and one special commenter will receive an autographed copy of my new
book, Blood on the Feather.
