I make my home in the beautiful state of Colorado backed up against the Rocky Mountains. I live with my husband, Anthony and my rescue Blue Front Amazon parrot, Riley. I enjoy traveling, writing, painting, gardening, visiting with friends, curling up with a good book, and the awesomeness of every day.

One of the greatest joys of writing is losing myself in the story—I may begin the story, but soon it is writing itself—sometimes taking me on a totally different journey than originally imagined. I find myself on a magical ride to new places, or reliving and reinventing places I've visited.

I hope you enjoy my stories and please feel free to connect with me. I love to hear from my readers and fans.

Thank you to all my social media friends on Twitter, especially my Twitter Tribe and Writers Community, who support me in so many ways—you are all awesome! I feel very blessed to have so many wonderful friends around this big world we all call home.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I thank my readers and fans around the world. I am extremely blessed and honored to be a part of your reading list.

Each day is a fabulous new gift to be treasured, enjoyed, and shared with those we love.
