I love my awesome family…and reading, writing, genealogy, and Hershey’s Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate Toffee & Almond Nuggets (can the name be any longer?). I live in Mesa, Arizona and write Young Adult fiction and Christmas Romance. I also create book journals in honor of my mom Eileen (Book Love by ej journals), for those who like keeping track of what they read. I also write a genealogy column for a regional newspaper called Family History Corner, and I have 16 grandchildren with one on the way.

Related to my published novels, I can address teen topics of bullying and overcoming tragedy, and holiday romance, as well as anything about the craft of writing and indie-publishing. I also speak about discovering and connecting to your family story and genealogy.
