About me

There are two great loves of my life. Well . . . okay, three: Jesus, family, and books. I fell in love with reading when a short, Hispanic woman used to read me the classics, such as The Pokey Little Puppy and Good Night, Little Bear. (She was my mother.) My love for books never left me. So when I went to Liberty University it seemed only natural that I’d choose a major where I had to read scores of books, write dozens of research papers, take classes such as creative writing and southern fiction, and complete an internship with a publishing house.

Once I graduated with my BA in English and married the one person I could never get enough of, I was lucky enough to start working as an editor for a publishing house–reading, writing, editing, working with authors, trying to keep up with deadlines, and making good use of online dictionaries.

My husband and I make our home in Colorado, where we live with our sweet, beautiful daughter, Ashtyn Noel, and our mostly skittish but absolutely adorable, orange cat, Georgia, who attempts to beat her own sleeping records each day. When I’m not editing manuscripts, I love traveling, watching movies with Jeff, baking any kind of cheesecake, browsing bookstores, reading, keeping up with friends online, and writing stories.
