I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, TX and moved all the way over to the next county ... so, not very far. In high school, I was a serious and determined student with the goal of becoming a psychologist. However, an artistic desire awakened inside me during my late teens, and I became enamored with artists of all strains, and Deep Ellum became a home for my soul. After a couple of years, I realized I would have to grow up eventually (actually, my mom realized that for me), so I went to nursing school and once again became a serious and determined student. While in school, I became fascinated with research and after a few years of working as a floor nurse, I went into nephrology research and loved it! But I never stay happy with doing any one thing for very long and picked up my long dead hobby of writing. After a few years of studying the craft and learning about myself as a writer, I finally produced something I'm proud to display to the world. My debut novel, HOUSE OF THISTLES, was released by WeBook in November 2013.
