Author Bio:

Born and raised in central Mississippi, I did not grow up in either a city or the country, so I consider myself a "town girl." I have been employed for more than 20 years by the Mississippi House of Representatives, where I currently serve as Deputy Assistant Clerk. When I took over the care of my mother, after the sudden death of my father, I rediscovered a thirst for writing. My brother was instrumental in pointing me toward a writing class taught by best-selling author, Aaron McCarver. I am an original member of a local Christian fiction writers' group, The Bards of Faith. Aaron and I have completed a three-book series for Heartsong Presents and we are eagerly awaiting the debut of the three-in-one to be released in January 2011. We are also looking forward to the release of our first book in our second series, Across the Cotton Fields, which will be coming out in September, 2010.
