I grew up breathing the salty air in a small town near Clearwater Beach, Florida. The sun and sand were my playground, bathing suits and jean shorts my go-to wear.
I fell in love with poetry at an early age. When I wasn't causing trouble in my teen years, I was writing my first (rather horrific) teen romance novel. I spent my college years studying Elementary Education and Creative Writing at USF but ultimately changed my degree to Early Childhood Education in favor of teaching the younger kiddoes.
I'm a huge fan of romance novels in almost every genre. I write young adult and new adult (college age) and am drawn to retellings. After signing with a Literary Agent and experiencing the highs and lows of the traditional world, I decided to give hybrid publishing a try.
Now, I'm pursuing both the traditional and indie world and am excited to release YA and NA novels I've written over the years—series that include: retellings, contemporary and paranormal romance, and magical realism/urban fantasy.
In my free time, I love hanging out with my hubby and two older sons. I have two furry writing companions who often steal my seat when I'm working: a mini shih-poo named Bella, and an exotic cat named Tigerlily but who answers to Kitty because the menfolk in the house like it better. Speaking of kitties, I am obsessed with Hello Kitty, have a fairy garden, a pink office, think everything is better with sparkles, freeze in temperatures below seventy, and am happiest when visiting local hot spots like Disney World or Harry Potter.
