I think I've been making up stories since I could hold a pencil. Four years of college, writing in essay test booklets and spewing out what some professor wanted to hear killed my love of writing. In 2005, while researching a writing program for my kids, I re-discovered my desire to write and ended up joining NaNoWriMo.
17 days later, I had the beginnings of a fantasy novel. After I made the "mistake" of telling my relatives and friends I was writing, I ended up self-publishing it in 2007. I'm currently working on a sequel to that novel and will self publish it as well.
I have a passion for writing fiction, particularly fantasy. I always have romance in my stories. I'm a romantic at heart. I don't like writing non-fiction at all. I tried my hand at contemporary romance, but discovered I prefer making up my facts, thus the fantasy. I also have a passion for encouraging women and teens to follow their pursuit of writing, or whatever dream is in their heart to follow.
