I grew up in Sacramento, California, the oldest of seven. I earned an elementary teaching degree from Brigham Young University.

I’ve been a telemarketer, library helper at the university, assistant manager, sales clerk, tutor, and bilingual teacher. Now I’m a stay at home mom and writer.

I love to read and write!!!

1.      I’m related to Edgar Rice Burroughs—author of Tarzan

2.      I won an art contest when I was six years old.  A small picture of my art was in the San Francisco Chronicle

3.      I was on TV when I was little following after a parade

4.      I admit I love the paranormal.  I also like to visit psychic booths—though it’s only in fun!

5.      I like to listen to 80’s music

6.      I absolutely love chocolate and I’m major bummed I just found out I’m allergic to it--carob, anyone?
