About Me

Wow! I'm a full time writer and editor. I've written biographies, informational books, parables, analogies, and true stories. I've worked with amazing people who have impacted my life tremendously. I get to meet some very amazing people, making it a joy to work everyday! I'm also a lyricist and have been lucky enough to have some of my songs published. Keep up to date because two are being recorded! plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

Writing anything. Music! My four beautiful daughters, who give me a reason to wake up every day and a reason to pray every night. Golf. Football. Summer.

I'd like to meet:

Tons of people! Everybody! Authors of great fiction and non-fiction books, singers, golfers, and all of the rest of the world out there who I don't know yet! plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

Music:

Country - new and old. Grew up on Tammy Wynette and Conway Twitty, now I listen to all of it. Favorites: Hello Darlin by Conway and It Matters to Me by Faith Hill. I relate to Corn Fed by Shannon Brown, respect Willie and Waylon like only a true country fan can, and love Martina's voice and range. Not much I don't like to be honest!

Movies:

Love Story - yes, I love a good cry.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, CSI, really... I'd rather write songs than watch tv. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Books:

too many to mention! Mostly, though, I love Paco Ahlgren's Discipline (if you haven't read it, go to www.DisciplineNovel.com and get the free 191 page excerpt-you'll get hooked, too), Sidney Sheldon's Doomsday Conspiracy, true crime stories, and anything that has an element of drama like Presumed Innocent. Oh, and lets not forget Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas...there's one that touches the soul.

Heroes:

My mom. My 4 daughters. My husband, Pat. All you authors and songwriters out there who have managed to break through the industry and get your unique books and songs published! You should be admired for your patience and persistence, as well as your talent. I tip my hat to you!
