I was born to wonderful parents who just happened to be on the wrong side of the country. Ever since, I have been trying to get west and be in the west at every opportunity. Which means the west is where I went to college, where I lived and worked on ranches, and made friends and memories before being called back to care for my ailing grandmother. While ’home, ’ I married, became a parent and divorced. And, I might add, met the love of my life. I am now back ’out West’ living and loving the life I’ve always imagined. My favorite authors run the gamut from Western to mysteries to literature to the classics My goal is for my books to captivate the reader and help them to believe they’ve lived the adventure as well.
