"I wanted to be a writer since I was a very small child. When I made it

to middle school my English teacher told me I wasn't cut out to write a

book, trying to encourage me to work harder, but I gave up. I didn't

even read any books I didn't have to read. Then at twenty-five, I fell in love

with reading again when I found a book by R.A. Salvatore. At the age of

thirty I had my first daughter. I realized one day I would tell her to

follow her dreams, yet I hadn't. I decided to lead by example and wrote

my first two books, back-to-back. I started in August and finished

October 1st. I love writing and now want nothing more than to make my

daughter proud."
