Since childhood I have loved to draw; since the late teenage years I have loved to write. When it came time for college, I couldn’t decide what I wanted to be: a starving artist or a starving writer. So I figured I go for both. Three years later, I graduated magna cum laude with a BA in English and an Art minor.

For the past few years I have worked as a graphic designer at True Northe (my own company). I achieved my life dream on March 15, 2011 when I published my first novel, Jaden Baker. That was a happy day.

Originally from California, I moved up to the Pacific Northwest in the winter of 2008 in search of adventure–and found it. In the summer of 2011, me and my sheltie Riley moved aboard a sailboat, which I christened Libby. 

Quick facts:

• Mother of two (one dog, one horse)
• I am a Harry Potter supergeek (I think we’re also called Pottheads, but I prefer Potterites)
• Love my Kindle (never thought that would happen…read here for more on that), MacBook Pro, and my french press.
