After spending her youth on Southern California beaches, she moved to New Mexico where she finished her education and began her working career in the field of Interior Design. This endeavor allowed her to pursue her real love-Ranching. Her many years in the ranching business lends authenticity to her writing. When she writes about branding, building fences, working cattle, and all other aspects of ranching she knows what she is writing about. She has done it all. She lived in New Mexico for many years before retiring to Tennessee where she continues to write and enjoy her family and gardening. She has published The Other Side of The River and is at work on a prequel. She also has an anecdotal book about the tribulations of being a landlord in New Mexico in the works. She brings her life experiences to her writing.
