ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. Burrowing myself into the mysteries of books and exploring their unique worlds is what I do best. Books are essentially an imprint of the author’s soul left behind—well I tend to think so. I have a son who I adore, two Dobermans Lily and Rose, and an endearing husband who listens to me rattle non-stop about my adventures. I am sweet, a little sarcastic, and I enjoy creating new worlds and adventures for people to explore.
