I started writing when a co-worker challenged me to write a book of my own after I complained about a particularly disappointing story. Later, at the urging of friends and critique partners, I entered the Golden Heart Contest for Unpublished Writers, and Silent Song was one of six finalists in the short contemporary category. It eventually sold to Kensington Publishing.

 

Life has a way of forcing you onto unplanned paths, and mine was diverted shortly after Silent Song was released. That detour ended when I retired and had both the time and energy to imagine story worlds again. The Wolerton World is the result... And there are more to come.

​

I live in southern California where my husband and I raised our two children. Our daughter is an award-winning cake artist whose work has been featured in magazines and an episode of Cake Wars. Our son is an aero-space engineer who made watching The Big Bang Theory seem oddly familiar. 

​

When not writing, I enjoy painting, needle work, photography, reading... and going to lunch with friends.
