In her own words…
I was born in 1965 on an American military base in Japan.
We also lived in Germany, Maryland, and Kentucky before ending up in Killeen, Texas
where I graduated from high school in 1983. High school interests included drama and
cosmetology. I received a degree in English from Texas State University in 1986.
College interests included cycling and racquetball. I worked as a hairdresser part time
while attending college, which is how I met my husband. He was one of my customers.
I accidentally cut his ear one time during a haircut, but he married me anyway - brave soul.
After an eleven-year career in Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation, I left work in
2002, which gave me the time and energy to begin The Fairy Chronicles saga.
I have an imaginary dog named Jellybean Ebenezer Beast. My hobbies include hiking,
photography, knitting, and basketry. I also enjoy watching a variety of movies and sports.
My favorite superhero is my husband, with Silver Surfer coming in a close second.
I love many of the same things the fairies love including live oak trees, mockingbirds,
weathered terra cotta, butterflies, bees, and cypress knees. In the fairy game of "If I were a
jellybean, what flavor would I be?" I would be green apple.
