Bio
I am a social worker by trade but due to disabilities and other issues beyond my control, I cannot work outside my home, so in 2013 I began my journey as a self-published author under an alias. My works run the gambit, to say the least.

Wake Up!
READ THE PROLOGUE & CH. ONE FOR FREE PROLOGUE December 9, 2006 I should be sleeping, but I can’t. My emotions are All. Over. The. Place. I want to cry, scream, and disappear all at once. One minute I’m in tears, and the next I’m so angry that all I want to do is hit someone. In the last twenty-four hours, my life, along with that of my son, Tyler, has been completely upended. My husband, Grey, admitted he’s been cheating on me, and the bastard had the audacity to tell me it’s my fault. Can you believe that?! Yeah, like I held a gun to his head and made him put his penis where it has no business being! Exactly how does that work? He even claimed he was going to “get rid of me” as soon as I get my degree.

Where would you take a vacation if you could?
My great-grandparents came from Denmark, making their home in Nephi Utah. I do not recall any specific stories from my grandmother who was a full-blooded Dane but just the fact that I am a quarter Danish makes Denmark an appealing place for me to visit.

Quarantine Playlist
When I first heard of the Coronavirus, I felt that life as we knew it would change... drastically. Boy, I wasn’t prepared for how much. I’ve never homeschooled my kids; one is now in college and the other in fourth grade, but when the bigger cities started closing schools,I knew it was only a matter of time before it got to us. Being from a smaller community, there were a lot of people who didn’t think that our schools would shut down but the four- year university that I live near was the first to close and begin online classes. Not too many weeks later, the school district decided to as well, which for preschool through high school meant a longer spring break and the younger kids were ecstatic. That was, until they found out they weren’t going back to school at all this year. Hence, homeschooling commenced. To say it’s been a challenge for both myself and my fourth grader is an understatement...subjects aren’t taught like they were even when my son was that age, not to mention when I was her age. I am grateful to her teacher and principal for making it a little easier on those of us who weren’t built to teach. Luckily, she and I both enjoy reading, so we save that for the end of the day. Her way of coping is being able to have “virtual play dates,” playing Minecraft or Wildcraft together or just messaging GIFs and funny images or memes back and forth to her friends. This gives me a little while to work on stories that I’m writing and listen to my music or just relax.
