About

Hmm.  About Me…

I’m young(ish).  And tall(ish).  And girl(ish).  And I like to use the suffix “-ish” apparently.   All of that translates into the fact that I’m a 30′s-something Paranormal YA author who is 5’10″ and likes girly things like hot pink nailpolish, flowers and high heels.

I also love adverbs.  Love, love them. Even though I’m not supposed to.  Even though I’m supposed to cut every single one of them out of my work with a sharpened scalpel.  I don’t- because I love them!

Hmmm.. fun fact about me:

I  love thunderstorms and cake batter.  And standing barefoot on the edge of Lake Michigan with my toes in the water.  That’s my favorite place in the world, I think.

I love spicy mexican food- I could eat it every night of my life with no complaint.

I hate buoys and birds.  (Yes, I know I’m weird).  I also really  hate rude people.  I mean, what’s the sense in being rude?  It takes the same amount of energy to just be nice.

Also, I color my hair when I get bored.  I’ve been a redhead, blonde, brunette. I’ve had purple hair, blue hair, a bright red stripe and once, on accident, green hair.  I barely even remember my natural hair color anymore.

Random fun fact:  I love cemetery angels.  Is that creepy?

My favorite books as a kid were…. “A Little Princess” by Francis Hodgson Burnett and “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White.   And then I got into the Trixie Belden series, even though they were already pretty dated even then.  But so what?  A good book is timeless.

My favorite books now?  I love, LOVE “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom.  Luuuurve.   Because that’s how I think Heaven will be– not necessarily a line of people waiting to see you, but that you will find out how you impacted other people’s lives in ways you never even knew.   I also like the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead.

My favorite movie?  Um.  *blank stare*.  There are so many.  Ooh- I know.  My all-time favorite movie is Caddy Shack.  Hi-lar-ious.

Also, I am forgetful.  Seriously.  My daughter is always concerned that I will forget her somewhere.  Okay- that might be a slight exaggeration.  But my memory really is bad.   I have lists upon lists, which of course I lose…

I grew up in rural Kansas, so yes, I am a corn-fed Kansas girl.  My husband calls me his “Sunflower” because that sounds so much better.   I live in Indiana now- the actual land of corn, I think.  I have two sons and a daughter, a white German Shepherd, a yellow lab, two cats and a mouse.  My own little suburban farm.  Yay, me!
