About Me

I love words. From an early age I've been enchanted by how writers conjure vivid images from only letters printed on a page.  From the charming adventures of Frog and Toad to the evocative narratives of John Steinbeck (my favorite book is Grapes of Wrath), I knew from an early age I was meant to write. 

My work background is diverse, with a mix of design, writing, a social media. I love the interplay among all three. 

I live in beautiful Kansas, on land that's been in my family for 8 generations, with my husband and two sons. In my free time I enjoy playing the piano (mostly classical), reading Fantasy book series (Hello, Court of Thrones and Roses), and taking walks my three dogs (an Aussie and two Great Pyrenees).

I'm a go-getter that loves a challenge. My friends describe me as up-beat and sunny. My kids say I'm kind and tough. My husband says I'm assertive, creative, and determined.
