About Me
I was always one of those kids constantly writing stories and forcing my parents—and my sisters, teachers, friends, neighbors, and the family dog—to read them. I wrote stories about everything from horses to Star Wars to anthropomorphized worms and haunted school buses. One thing was constant, though: there was always a happy ending.

I was always one of those kids constantly writing stories and forcing my parents—and my sisters, teachers, friends, neighbors, and the family dog—to read them. I wrote stories about everything from horses to Star Wars to anthropomorphized worms and haunted school buses. One thing was constant, though: there was always a happy ending.
In college, my talents led me into the Theatre where I discovered that writing my own scripts was a whole lot more fun than memorizing someone else's. After several years working with improvisational groups, collegiate drama, small community theatres, church drama ministries, and whatever other job helped to pay the bills, I figured it was time to settle down. I accepted the permanent role of preacher’s wife and child herder.
To preserve my sanity, I took my love of happy endings and began to focus on writing romance. In 2008 I won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award® in the Regency Historical category. My first book was published in 2009 with Berkley Sensation and became a national bestseller. Since then, I have published more than 20 titles with various publishers as well as independently.
Today I'm living out my own Happily-Ever-After in rural Ohio with my own hunky hero, Jack, and our two college age--and delightfully creative-- grown children. We enjoy laughter, the beauties of nature, and an ever-changing menagerie of quirky creatures. We are all addicted to happy endings and that seems to be working out just fine.
