I majored in English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I feel strongly about wildlife and environmental conservation, animal rights in general, and issues affecting children, women and the elderly.  I studied dance for twelve years and still love it. I am looking forward to visiting Greece and Egypt some day, among other places.  I enjoy a variety of books, but especially enjoyed the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.  My all time favorite authors include Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe, and many more.

The Elemental Series is a planned five-book series which  will follow the adventures of Kira Phoenix as she goes to college, encounters demons, confronts evil and finds love. Kira’s story came to me during my first year at college while waiting for class to start.  I began to scribble and the next thing I knew I had the beginnings of a story.  I continued to imagine what would happen next and wrote bits and pieces in between classes and during work breaks.  Once I typed up all the notes, I realized I had enough for a full novel, and ideas for more, resulting in the Elemental Series.  The series is family friendly and appropriate for all ages, both young and adult.
