My entire life, I loved to read voraciously and write story after story. I won the English Dept scholarship at my high school... then I promptly went into the Sciences at the University of Kentucky. I had fallen in love with physical therapy and I made it my career. I absolutely love my PT profession and all the years that I have invested in treating patients....but something always nagged in my head that said I should let my creative side loose as well. I needed to get back to WRITING! I sat down and wrote my novel, Groupie in a six month time frame on a Netbook- I kid you not. That's a tiny laptop, y'all. It was so long that I wound up with two books and Groupie was a series! Now, I have the best of both worlds so both sides of my brain are happy. . Aside from those two jobs, I'm raising a husband and two children! Luckily, I thrive on multi-tasking and it all works out in our crazy life. I love all things Southern, lifelong friendships, date nights, and reading my kids to sleep.
