me.

writer of stories
reader of books
runner of trails

drinker of coffee
knitter of shawls

I am a writer, dreamer, reader, runner, knitter, mom, a cancer survivor, and a coffee addict. I collect extra children as both a hobby and a career, and have anywhere from three to eleven attempting to take over my house at any given moment. My husband and I ran away from the heat of Texas and now live in the mountains of Colorado with our horde of children and our two dogs.

And my characters are part of who I am. Can’t help it.
