Her first published work was in sixth grade, back in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. By tenth grade she knew she wanted to be a novelist.
Upon graduating with a history degree from Wichita State University, she ended up in the library field. After a brief flirtation with law school at the University of South Carolina, where she received her Masters in Librarianship, she went on to become a medical librarian at Bowman Gray Medical School, in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
After moving back to Kansas, she owned and directed a large childcare facility before getting back in librarianship. In addition to being a high school media specialist, she also works part-time at a bookstore, co-owns and edits a monthly Irish-American newspaper, Heart of America Irish Life, and writes novels in her free time.view less
