A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul and that, I am sure, is why he does it

Born and raised in Northern California, I spent over thirty years in and around the horse industry. After studying Animal Science at UC Davis I bred Thoroughbred horses for the show ring. However, most of those years were spent traveling to hunter/jumper shows in California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado as part of the show staff. No matter where life took me, I never made the trip without a notebook or journal to feed my fire to write.
I particularly enjoy writing strong women characters, or those that manage to find strength within where they believed there was none. I also enjoy the challenge of tackling moral or ethical dilemmas in such a way that the reader draws their own conclusions rather than be led to a particular way of thought.
I live in rural Northern California with my husband, a rescued black Lab and a tough-as-nails cat. I am thankful for my family’s continued support and encouragement.
