I love a good love story. From slow burn to first sight, it doesn’t matter. Add in paranormal, fantasy, or dystopian elements, and I’m all in. These are the stories I crave, so naturally, they are the stories I write!
My love for writing started in the 8th grade when I wrote a short story about a girl on the Titanic. I loved imagining who she was, her hopes and dreams, and how she ended up on that ship. Of course, it wasn’t Rose and Jack (by a long shot), but it planted the seed that would eventually lead to my career as an author.
Oh, I took a few detours along the way. I was an actor. A bartender. A financial recruiter. A human resources professional. I was a lot of things. But one thing I never stopped being was a lover of books. While I might gravitate toward a specific genre, I’ll read anything that engages and captivates me. Historical, Thrillers, Rom-Coms, Post-Apocalyptic, Sci-Fi, Memoirs, Young Adult, I’ll devour them all! (Okay, maybe not cookbooks. I’m useless in the kitchen – ask my husband)
The point is, I love reading. I love immersing myself in another world for a while. Writing takes this one step further; it gives me the privilege of creating that world. And to be able to SHARE that world with you, the reader? That might be my favorite love story of all.
A few boring facts about me (because my characters are way more interesting):
Birthplace: Kankakee, IL (though I mainly grew up in Phoenix, AZ)
Favorite Book: Not possible to answer, but if my cat’s life were on the line, then I’d probably say Jane Eyre
Favorite Movie: No. Can’t do it.
Favorite Series: Tie between Lost and Friday Night Lights
Spirit Animal: Cat, obviously
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Most embarrassing moment: Listing these factoids
