I was born and raised in a small Central Texas town.  My graduating class only had a total of 113 people!  I kid you not.   Looking back on it now, there's nothing like growing up in a small town.  Of course, my parents were super strict so I didn't get to go any parties, so I started to read.   I remember cutting my literary teeth on Harlequins back in the day.  That was before the romance novels finally became colorized.   I love writing and everything about it.  I love doing character studies, although I have to confess, I don't them as often as I would like.  Usually, characters pop into my overactive imagination and refuse to leave until I invent a story for them. 

I published my first novel in 2004.  "Campaign for Love" was released in November of that year and I never looked back.   As my career has progressed so has my knowledge of the craft.   I have been a member of Romance Writers of America since 2001.  I'm also a member of my local RWA chapter.  DARA is an outstanding group  and I received a lot of good information there.  Now, I'm on the executive board as Pan Liaison.   I'm also a member of the Kiss of Death and the Sizzling Sisterhood Critique group.
