In short

  • I have spent the past four years in writing critique groups and reading books, blogs, and agent's websites to learn all I can about the craft of writing and also about the business of publishing.
    I have been a nurse for 16 years and currently work in healthcare compliance.  I have one husband, three kids, and a cat.  I also have an almost obsessive desire for authentic barbacoa tacos and yebeg wot.

  • I once dated Jerry Jones' oil man.

My Favorites: Reading and Writing

  • "Of Mice and Men", "Running With Scissors", "Breakfast At Tiffany's", and "To Kill a Mockingbird".  I love books from the golden era of American literature.
  • YOU REMIND ME OF ME by Dan Chaon
  • Living room
  • After playing around with different genres and stories within those genres, I finally settled (I think) on Women's Fiction.

  • Fiction: Crime, Fairytales, Folklore & Mythology, Humor/Satire, Literary, Mystery, Sci Fi/Fantasy, Short Story, Young Adult/Juvenile

  • Truman Capote, J. K. Rowling, John Steinbeck, C. S. Lewis, and Dean Koontz
