Discipline came in the form of a masochistic annual ritual known as Nanowrimo. I began participating in 2002 and have continued every year since. My first serious novel efforts include Mouse and The Locked Door. The focus is now on Normal, a superhero urban fantasy complete at 100,000 words. My full-time employment is that of a stay-at-home mom to a feisty and sweet autistic preschooler. He keeps me busy, and in my spare moments I escape to write, edit, and research. That, or I go insane from reading The Berenstain Bears Meet Santa Bear for the third time in a single sitting.
I'm a member of the Arizona Authors Association and an associate member of the SFWA.
