I love to read books and poetry, along with writing them. What can be more fun than putting on paper stories you develop in your mind?

Although I've written stories for years, it's just recently that I decided to try self-publishing.

My first novel 'Always' was published on Oct 2012. It is a fantasy/romance story that takes place in England.

In July 2013 I published a book of poetry Stepping Stones. In Dec 2013 I published my second novel, The Lone Hero and my first children's rhyme book. Continuing to publish, in 2015 I published the first of the Dimidium series, also a fantasy/romance story about a race that's half human and half vampire.

I've also added fantasy stories to two horror books, When the Lights Go Out and Strange Portals.

I was born and raised in Ohio and now live in the scenic state of Utah. I attended BYU-Idaho where I received my Associate Degree in humanities (French and German), BYU-Hawaii where I received my Bachelor Degree in Mand Chinese & Chinese History, and did 3 yrs of graduate school in Chinese & Linguistics.
