Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
When I was a kid I loved to read. Pretty much anything I could get my hands on (some I probably shouldn’t have read at such a young age, but…oh well). I realized I could get lost in a book and the reality of being a bank geek faded into the background. Yes…I was a band geek. Yes…I went to band camp. No…what happened in the movie never happened at any band camp I went to. :o)
So, after high school, I went to college to become a Paramedic and then eventually a Flight Paramedic. I’ve seen things that would make your skin crawl and for you to never have a decent nights sleep again, But I also have seen a lot of good. People helping people. Babies being born (I’ve delivered a lot of them), and people surviving. That’s what I want my characters to experience.
Once I was done with the EMS part of my life, I met a great man and we settled down in Florida (I’m a native). Now-a-days, I work in accounting (I know…pretty boring compared to EMS) and I write when I have time.
We have two cats (one thinks he’s a dog) and four dogs (not including the cat). When I’m not writing, you can find me writing, on social media, researching my next book, crafting (although I’m not very good, I still enjoy it), traveling, and hanging out with my husband.
