About the Author
I was busy raising a family, working as an occupational therapist, and trying to remember where I hid the chocolate, when a song sparked a story within me. The journey to publication has been long, but full of blessings. I couldn't have done it without ACFW, RWA, and FHL, the inspirational chapter of RWA, and Nebraska Novelists critique group. I was born in Washington, DC, grew up in northern Virginia, attended Western Michigan University, and moved around a lot for my husband's aviation career. Maybe our paths have crossed; shoot me an email and we'll figure it out! My favorite place to write is the porch. Then I reward myself with reading time in my air chair - and chocolate, of course!
