About Me

I always wanted to write, but didn't think real people grew up to be writers so earned a teaching degree instead. Ten years ago I traded my puppets for a computer and began to write. Since then, I've sold fifty books and still love it. Now I write so I don't have to get a real job!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bruce Springsteen Clint Eastwood James Blunt David Cook Sandra Bullock Steven Spielberg Steven King

Today is the day my newest book goes on sale. So of course, I'm wondering if it actually made it into stores, if anyone will find it, or buy it, etc. -- all the obsessive compulsive neurotic things we...
