From an early age I knew I wanted to write a children's book. My imagination for such a book was cultivated as my family didn't have a lot of money and my older brother and I were encouraged to use our imaginations to entertain ourselves. And use them we did - climbing trees and tree forts, using a quilt for a matchbox car city, making puppets and putting on shows, and much more and my creativity and imagination grew.

I went to college and got a degree in Accounting. However, most folks frown on "creative accounting", so I continued to put my imagination/writing on hold. My business and creative interests eventually led me to found and grow a successful company which, with my partner, I sold in January 2012, leaving me time to imagine and write for the first time.

I live in scenic Austin, TX with my husband, my daughter who is a Longhorn at UT Austin and my son who is in high school.
