"When I thought about becoming an author, I had rose-colored images of crafting stories in sun-filled rooms, not proofreading and editing manuscripts at 2 AM in the morning or trying to juggle the multiple aspects of the publishing process. However, do I still want to do this for a living......my answer is absolutely yes! This is what I have always wanted to do. I am an author."

Here is Dakota, my beagle-basset buddy. He is 8 years old and enjoys napping and snacking. He also likes to sing for us around the holidays.

This is Lila, a stray that I took in and now she's family. She keeps the house and yard free of pests and rodents. She recently had kittens and they are from left to right: Lily, Watson, Sherlock, and Callie.
