Vincennes with her husband,  three children, a Black Labrador

In the ninth grade, I concocted my own ending to "Star Wars". My English class wrote creatively every other Friday, and by April, my teacher was writing notes at the top of my papers to please do something else! I could only write two pages in an hour, and it was the middle of May before I finally wrote "The End". I only had two other original pieces that year: A story based on the song "One Tin Soldier" and a fairy tale, which I revamped as a senior in high school and illustrated. It earned me an "A", and the kindergardeners loved it when I read it out loud.

In February 1985, I was bored and between dates, so I started writing a romance story. I've long since abandoned the story, but have revamped some of the characters. I had loved my high school romance stories, the "First Love"s from Silhouette and others geared toward that age group, and had hoped to find something along those lines, only set at a university. So when nothing turned up, I decided to write my own. And after a blind date one night, I decided to explore the issue and see where it went. My real life blind date turned into a tumultuous six-year 'relationship'; my heroine dealt more positively with the experience. And no, I wasn't an English major; my goal was to become a social worker and deal with abused women and children.

In 1991, while pregnant with my oldest son, I was placed on restricted activity. I came across several half-finished stories, and decided to make them a series. I initially outlined six, but as I began writing, more ideas flowed, and now the series has a list of fourteen. And that's not all. As I've promoted the first two books, I've had the opportunity to brainstorm with readers, and more ideas have been presented. So who knows when this will end? As long as there are social problems in our world, I'll have characters to deal with them!
