An avid reader of any and all genres since I could turn a page, I remember my parents rationing Hardy Boys and Black Stallion novels like most kids were rationed candy. Getting lost in a captivating, exhilarating story is my favorite way to spend time, whether reading or writing. Nothing is better than being drawn into a story so deeply you don't realize you're turning a page until you've reached the end, and the characters live on in your heart and mind long after the cover has been closed. I currently live in the Pacific Northwest on an island with my husband and dogs.
