I’m called a “Jane of all Trades”, because my interests are so varied– crafts, painting, clothing, floral arranging, poems, songs. I loved the years that I sang professionally with some of El Paso’s finest jazz & blues musicians.

But all the while I wrote. Poems and short stories piled up in a box, next to gobs of rejections. Several nonfiction articles were published. I wrote grants and copy at a private school. While creating content online and writing my own blog, I became fascinated with family research, which inspired my debut novel, Etch of a Promise. It’s Book One of a coming historical fiction series.

I’ve traveled to Costa Rica, Mexico, and Canada. We live in Central Texas, where we thrive with our two hairy dogs. When I’m not writing, I try to keep up with my children and their growing families, spread across the U.S. God is so good.
