In this digital age, humans are losing touch with themselves and one another. I want to tell stories of people who are compelled to reestablish deep, meaningful connections with each other, as well as the world. I want to share stories that inspire people to see the beauty in the tangible and provide a steady diet of words to feed hungry souls.

I recently earned a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and Literature from Harvard Extension School. Studying writing deepened my love for the craft and furthered my desire to mold words into engaging sentences that bring people, places, obstacles and triumphs to life; words that entertain and inspire with subtle finesse; words that don't just tell a story, but compel the reader into a whole new world. I can only hope that my stories will do for others what reading has done for me.

I raised and homeschooled three daughters in the wilds outside of Bend, Oregon where I live and write today. I love to mountain bike, hike and X country ski because those activities allow me to get deep into the wilderness on my own power. When I'm not writing, I'm reading or listening to an audio book while I cook, bake, and wander. I justify my voracious appetite for books as extensive market research, but really I just love to get lost in a compelling story!
