I've been known to undertake unusual endeavors (such as firefighter training and learning to fly a helicopter) just for the sake of the experience.

Being an Army-trained combat medic (and civilian EMT) and a "biker chick" has also influenced my writing, but even "ordinary" events can strike a chord or inspire a character or plot idea.

To support my writing habit, I work full-time at a creative agency. I'm a soccer fanatic who’s blessed with a very understanding husband and two children who put up with the “embarrassment” of a motorcycle-riding, romance-writing mom!
