BIO
I have spent most of my life living in rural Oklahoma. I was born in Tulsa, and while I prefer the
interesting thing a small city has to offer, I hate the traffic. I grew up in a close multi-generational
family. My granny was the Matriarch for
the family for most of my life. We did
not all live in the same house, but we lived near each other. She kept tabs on the entire family, and
settled most problems. Nobody questioned
granny's authority, whether you were grown, married, had your own kids, granny
was still in charge. When I was younger,
my mother was an English professor at a local college. She is probably the most
responsible for my love of writing. My
father is an evangelistic minister, and in my case, everything they say about
the preacher's daughter is probably true.
Most of my life I have been told I should write a book. The things that
have happened in my life, just don't happen to other people. I always swore if I wrote it, nobody would
believe it was a true story. I have been
married twice, and those two alone would make a series. I gave birth twice, a son and a daughter, and
along the way I inherited a whole mess of other kids. Many times I had as many
as 6 kids living with me. (An entire other series worth of books.) I have
always been fascinated by people, and what motivates them to make some of the
choices that they do. I find it
interesting how individual perspectives of the same events can be very
different. It has often amazed me, how a
single life event can dramatically change the course of a person’s life. None of my books are based on true stories,
but I definitely drew inspiration for some of the characters personalities from
some of my friends and family.
