She currently resides in that same small town 20 years later with her two children and their dogs. She graduated from AIU with her associates degree in Business Management, began writing as a hobby to escape her life and moved back to her hometown. Raising her children while writing was her dream, becoming a reality now that she just published her first book. She is living a peaceful quiet life while continuing to cherish her time with her kids. She loves crime shows, nature, riding horses and watching the Dallas Cowboys play. When she’s not writing she enjoys reading by the fireplace, making crafts with her kids, hiking and gardening.view less
