I've always enjoyed entertaining others. I wrote my first book when I was in 7th grade about a group of kids who were trying to solve the mystery of their best friend's death. Pretty deep stuff for a 13 year old.
Later in life, I studied theater and won Best Actress at a One-Act Competition. I considered many different professions in the medical field. In the meantime, I married my high school sweetheart. While working full time, I finished college and graduated with a degree in Marketing from Brenau University.
A few years later, I decided to stop ignoring the characters in my head and began writing. Still, I was too afraid to join writers groups.
When my first child was born, I looked into my child's precious face and knew I needed to begin living a better life. Soon after, I rededicated my life to Christ. I also decided that my stories would have God at the center.
I write contemporary and historical romance. Stories based in the South with Steel Magnolia Sass.
In 2009, my manuscript The Bridge Between won the ACFW Genesis Contest.
In 2012, I placed third in the River City Romance Writers Dual on the Delta Contest with my manuscript, Too Late to Apologize.
I have also written articles for Afictionado Magazine.
I'm still seeking publication. It's a long journey, but I can't imagine my life without writing. I'm a member of several wonderful organizations: American Christian Fiction Writers, Romance Writers of America, and Georgia Romance Writers.
May God bless you as you pursue your dreams!
