I was born and raised in NC, where my family roots run deep. My mother is a small business owner and our extended family lives within walking distance of one another.

I share my life with my wonderful husband, Brent, and our two daughters and two dogs.

Weekly visits to the local library with my girls and pouring over childhood picture book favorites together has reignited a passion for writing that was sidelined in pursuit of another career.

When I am not writing or chasing after one of my children, I enjoy spending time on my screen porch with a hot cup of coffee, hiking and trips to the local farmers market.
