Welcome to my home on the web!

I am an aspiring author currently working on my third novel as well as several short fiction pieces.   I am also a full-time student and housewife.  I try to spend at least a bit of time writing every day, although “real life” has this habit of getting in the way of that goal at times.  At the end of the school day,  if I am not writing I can usually be found hiding behind my Nook, with friends and family, or at a minor league baseball game.

My favorite place to be is on a nice warm beach.  Because of this, I always find a beach being a focal point in my writing, from short-story to full-length novel.  I tend to listen to music while I write, and my favorite artist to get me in the writing mood is Jimmy Buffett (which may have something to do with the beach theme, too).

I started blogging in January of 2011 on a team blog, Have Coffee…Will Write,  with fellow romance writer, Karen DeLabar.  In May of 2011, we decided to split the blog onto our own sites.

Many of the posts found on this site that were published prior to June 2011 were originally featured on HCWW.  They showcase my transformation as a writer, from someone who was afraid to post anything at all to someone who loves blogging.  They also show my  multiple name changes (before finally settling on my real name).

I blog here when the mood strikes, but have quickly learned that the more rigid schedule I try to stick to, the less likely I am to follow it. You can also check out what I am have been reading at WotR, where a new issue will be released every Tuesday, or on my bookshelf.

Have a look around and check out my blog and my bookshelf, or find out more about me and what I am working on now.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you just want to say hi! I love connecting with new people.  :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
