I was born in Florida, grew up in North Carolina,
and graduated from North Carolina State University in 1996. After marrying my
high school sweetheart, Shawn, we moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where I
taught third grade and wrote during the summers. In 2002, we relocated to Fort
Worth, Texas, where our twins Will and Ben were born. When my boys were
toddlers, I started writing again at night and during naptimes, and I’ve been
writing ever since!
In 2008, my family moved to beautiful Fort Mill, South Carolina. When I am not writing, I enjoy reading, playing the piano, hiking, camping, and exploring the Carolinas from the mountains to the sea.
