All I ever wanted to be was a wife and mother and my sweetheart Jeff and I have seven wonderful, intelligent, vibrant, funny, righteous, dynamic and hardworking children. But my little squirts grew up. Somebody invented computers and I found myself becoming a writer, too. I grabbed a degree (distance learning) from BYU in English and American literature because I believe that I need to know great literature in order to produce it. Now I am a novelist, a newspaper columnist, a blogger, a poet and a freelancer. When I'm not writing, you'll find me exploring the world, researching history, planting my garden, enthralled with a good book, experimenting in my kitchen, playing with my camera or working on Public Affairs for my Church. I'm a Mormon, yessiree, dyed-in-the-wool, true blue, through and through!
