I have been writing since I was a very young child. I wrote my first book---longhand, of course!---when I was eight years old. I was hooked from then on. I love taking random ideas and turning them into concrete worlds, if only on paper. I'm currently married, am the mother of four---one deceased, three grown---and the 'nana' of three. For some reason, I haven't changed much physically since Jr. High. (My kids find this highly amusing. There names are Sunshine, Casey, & Storme.) I am the oldest of four girls. My Dad said they had to quit after the last girl before they ended up with a softball team instead of a boy. I love music, too.
