Los Angeles during my childhood was not the best place for a weird little girl who read encyclopedias for fun and had a lot of pie in the sky dreams. I broke free when I packed my dreams and moved to the wilds of Idaho. These dreams took me through a variety of careers, including but not limited to burger flipper, donut shop manager, theater tech, tuba player, piano teacher, punk rock performance artist, hotel assistant manager, high end restaurant miracle worker, musical theater triple threat, multi-instrumental punk/metal/emo/folk musician, Irish dance instructor, firefighter, EMT, nursing assistant, small business owner, and medically disqualified soldier. (Hey, I tried!) Through it all, I wrote. That plus my desire to serve my country lent itself well to helping share the stories of my military brothers and sisters, though I also dabble in sci-fi and horror.

Credits include Hero by Force, Worst Case Scenario: Outbreak, Untold Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan, Korean War, Tiger on the Storm, Days in a Life: 9-11 and the Aftermath, and The Real Women of the US Military: The WASP. And I have a lot of other creative irons in the fire, because... well... look at me!
