I'm a Christian author with a passion for enchanting stories that stay with you, characters that become your friends, and the power of fantasy to speak to real life in the deepest ways (while also including a dragon or two). I'm from a sleepy valley in New Mexico where the people are few but the adventures are many, and I've spent my life surrounded by my amazing (albeit slightly crazy) family and the many cats, dogs, and barnyard fowl we've raised. Besides being an author, I'm a coffee addict, a cat lady from birth, a ferocious book worm, and a proud country bumpkin. Most importantly, I am a dedicated Christian, and I believe the best stories are the ones that go beyond the surface and carry a light of hope to all who read them.
