About Me

2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, 2008 Eric Hoffer Award Finalist, 2008 Indie Excellence Book Award Finalist, and 2007 Hollywood Book Festival Honorable Mention.

After spending most of my life in the entertainment industry (you can catch me in Rags to Riches episodes, the educational film I Am Joe's Ear, and some very bad movies and cable shows that shall remain unnamed), I decided to make a career change and go back to school. And yes, I really was as a Disneyland performer, which for some reason seems to impress the heck out of several people. Ah, the stories I can tell.

As for my writing, my young adult fantasy Breach of Worlds has been accepted for publication with SynergEbooks, as well as my adult fantasy trilogy the Teadai Prophecies. Desert Magick: Superstitions, the first book in my adult paranormal fantasy series, is doing well and just snagged an award. I recently finished the second book in the series, which I hope to have published by the end of 2009. Teens can check out my award-winning novel The Mask of Tamirella.

I live in the Arizona desert with my very supportive husband, our insane parakeets, and numerous wild critters that frequent our neighborhood. I have written several novels and am currently at work on another.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Um, that should be "Whom I'd like to meet". Yeah, I was an English major. Writers, readers and watchers of speculative fiction. Other authors, publishers, editors. Anyone interested in the writing biz and/or the paranormal.

My Blog

Today I went to hell, er, jury duty and got some writing done.

  Having to report to jury duty in downtown Phoenix is an entertaining prospect, at best. So, lets start with getting there and parking. One way streets, of course, as any lovely downto...

Vikings and Celts and Swedes, oh, my!

As anyone who has read Desert Magick: Superstitions might guess, I do family genealogy as a hobby and sometimes use my research in my writing. Yesterday, while on a break from writing, I discovered so...

Finally have water in Valley of the Sun!

Well, our pool is officially done now and boy are we glad. The past couple of weeks of 90s temps spoiled us, but we're now back into triple digits. Tomorrow we get our orientation on all the salt wate...

Monoon season here!

Okay, even though we haven't had our traditional 3 consecutive days of 55 dew point, we're officially in the monsoon season. Our cooler weather the past couple of weeks has been great! We've been unde...

Monsoon on the way!

The monsoon season starts Monday. Woohoo! I was also reading that it might be warmer and wetter than 2008. Hubby and I are careful to keep away from those washes during storms. Besides the safety fact...
