I'm an eclectic writer living close to Charleston, SC with my cat, Temperance who is as high maintenance as I am. I've been writing since I was sixteen which is close to #&*#! years now. I write a little bit of everything, but there's always a little bit of romance in every book I write.
I'm a sci-fi/fantasy geek that absolutely loves Star Trek. I love it so much I even write about it at Red Shirts Always Die, and I'm one of the site's editors.
I also love historical movies and series so it's no surprise I'm addicted to Downton Abbey. That addiction is only slightly less than my addiction to one of the series stars, Matthew Goode, who is one of my all-time favorite actors. I may or may not have based one or two of the heroes in my books on him.
I love bingeing TV series, reading, learning new things, painting, coffee, creating videos, strawberry shortcake, laughing with my friends, and talking on the phone to my sister about all of our favorite movies and television.
