About Me
Where are you from? I was born in Houston, Texas, grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and spent the first part of my adult years moving a lot: Florida, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas (twice) and Arizona.
Where are you now? On my couch.
No, I mean where are you living now? Oh! St. Charles, Missouri. It’s just outside of St. Louis.
What’s your birthday? August 28th
What’s Your Sign? I’m a Virgo, of course.
Do you have any siblings? Yes, I have several. I grew up with one brother. I inherited four sisters when my mother got remarried a few years back. I also have a sister and two brothers whom I didn’t grow up with. (there’s a whole story behind that – watch for upcoming book)
Where did you go to school? For elementary school, I attended a private, Catholic prep school for girls. For high school, I attended a private co-ed college prep school. For college, I have nothing impressive to say. I went to community college and have entertained the thought of returning to school a lot. Maybe someday.
Writing in General
How long does it take you to write a book? It depends on the book, but in reality, about a year. Some books I have been working on for years. Others I churn out in a few months.
Where do you get your ideas? From an endless well deep inside my brain where very twisted, strange, crazy and odd things happen.
Would you want any of your books made into a movie? Maybe. It would depend on the book. It would be a great honor, I would love to see how they would interpret the weirdness in my brain onto the screen. No, really. I would.

Beginnings: The First Few Pages
How do you start your book? A strong opening is very important to a good story and a good book. Many people glance at the first few pages when thinking about reading a book; if it doesn’t grab them then, you’ve lost a potential reader. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got, [...]

Freelance Writing is NOT an easy job!
One of the things that annoys me most when I am out perusing article websites, blogs and just writing sites in general, is the serious lack of skills from the different writers. I am blessed to have an editor that I work closely with at both of my full time writing jobs, however thankfully I [...]
