Born and raised in the heart of Louisiana's Cajun Country, I spent my childhood fishing, crabbing, and getting sunburnt at the beach. My love for books started early, and I eagerly devoured stories, often competing in school reading programs just for the thrill of it.

In my late twenties, as a mother of two, I earned my first college degree and became a public school teacher. Later, I completed my Master’s Degree while balancing family life and working full-time. By the summer of 2023, I was finally able to trade lesson plans for writing full-time—a dream come true!

Married to a retired military officer, I spent years moving for his career before we settled in central Alabama with our youngest daughter, Arianna. My oldest daughter, Brianna, is now happily married and recently welcomed my first grandchild, Liam, into the world—making my new title of "Grandma" one of my favorites yet! In the summer of 2025, we’ll be returning to the Gulf Coast to be closer to my family and, most importantly, my grandson.

Life has thrown its challenges my way, including my ongoing battle with long-term chronic Lyme disease. While it makes daily life and work more difficult, I refuse to let it define me. Writing has become both my passion and my escape, and I’m determined to conquer every obstacle in my path.  My amazing assistant, Jessica, makes my life a lot easier. I don't know what I would do without her. 

Our home is never short on furry companions—I have two Shih Tzus, Charlie and Luna, who rarely leave my side, and three cats, Ramses, Simba, and Cookie, who keep life interesting.

When I’m not writing, I’m likely lost in a book, doting on my pets, or soaking up every precious moment with my grandson.
