Writing is a joyful obsession for me, rich with muses that first appeared in my childhood, inspired by the beauty and wonders of our family farms in Mayfield, Kentucky. They swarmed me like gnats and sparked my imagination as I roamed the fields, hiked winding creek beds, and daydreamed then and still today about characters and scenes beyond my back yard, even beyond our dimension where old souls live on, people can fly, and animals do indeed talk.

From my home in Memphis, Tennessee (where I moved to on a whim after graduating from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky), alongside two adorable and somewhat bossy rescue kitties, I love giving light and love to stories of all kinds: shorts, short shorts/flash, long shorts and novellas, and a few lofty novel and screenplay ideas. Now and then, I poke at poetry.

My writing is contemporary adult fiction and a bit speculative at times. My characters are usually trying to find their places in this crazy world or doing their very best to manage the world they’re in - soul searchers, daydreamers, lovers, friends and family, some mere acquaintances whose one-time meeting just might change the very fabric of their life tapestries.
