about me

Above all else, I'm a mother to two incredibly beautiful girls, Breathe and Alight. I spend my days contriving creative ways to build a solid, secure and happy childhood for them: we trumpet through the house on our knees playing Elephants in the Jungle, we paint our entire bodies purple polka dots on a regular basis just because we can, we fly kites and play pretend all day long. In addition to raising the girls, I also write constantly. Writing is as necessary to me as breathing: it is my escape, my haven. If anyone was born a writer, it would be me. I was reading my own books aloud to classmates by the third grade. I don't write books to provide readers with an escape from reality, rather I write books to make my readers more aware of reality, to motive them to action, to compel them to stop and think, then care. Most of my books are intense and painful but they are also stories that matter. When I'm not playing with my girls or writing, I can be found singing unabasedly to country music, riding horses at break-neck speeds or thinking outside the box for ways to live life so that, one day, I don't look back and see regrets instead of memories.
