At the age of 11, I wrote my first book, about orphaned animals with names like "Bob Katt" and "Chip Monk." My parents took the original typed manuscript and had it bound into a book. I don't think I've stopped writing since.

I majored in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University and wrote a personal column for a quarterly newsletter focusing on the entertainment industry for four years. My "That's Entertainment" series combines my love of pop culture with a story that takes the reader to another world for a few hours.

Although my day job as a non-profit fundraiser requires database geekery, I find writing a great deal more fun. Both my characters and I know that a pair of colorful cowboy boots can change your life. Plus, life is better with a little romance.
