I&#8217;m a quirky, socially awkward, introvert with random spasms of hyperactivity and singing. I will sing your ear off and have a tendency of embarrassing my friends because of it. If you&#8217;re ever in Walmart during the holidays, and you hear someone belting out &#8220;Silent Night&#8221; chances are it&#8217;s me.<\/p>\n<p>I love the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, hunting, nature, and identifying various plants.\u00a0I&#8217;m actually studying to become a Certified Herbalist. Fun fact-I actually became a Certified Pearl Specialist for the sake of research for a current WIP.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a nationally ranked pistol competitor and a poet so whaddaya know? I&#8217;m a warrior poet.\u00a0I also have a penchant for walking on waterfalls. It\u2019s one of my favorite past times.<\/p>\n<p>I have two mini me&#8217;s, my dog, Poet (Great Dane\/English Mastiff\/Shepherd mix), and my cats-Gizmo and Muse. I am single with a book boyfriend by the name of Baldassare (Created by Tracy Ball for the anthology \u201cSiren\u2019s Lullaby\u201d) who is so swoon worthy, I wish I could rip him out of the page and make him mine.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been writing nearly all my life&#8211;I live and breathe the written word. I love to learn and when I do, I dive right in. That&#8217;s another reason I love being a writer.\u00a0 My works include my standalone novel \u201cFaces In Still Waters\u201d my two poetry books \u201cChasing The Red\u201d and \u201cFire and Water\u201d, and the anthologies I was honored to be a part of \u201cSteamed\u201d, \u201cForest of The Dark\u201d, \u201cBeyond Atlantis\u201d, \u201cBeyond Wonderland\u201d, \u201cCampfire Tales\u201d, \u201cDo Not Pet The Humans\u201d, \u201cInfamy\u201d, \u201cDevious Ingenues\u201d, \u201cGrave Importance\u201d, \u201cThe Light Shines Through\u201d, \u201cGr8 Greeks\u201d, &amp; \u201cSiren\u2019s Lullaby\u201d. I\u2019m also working on my \u201cOrange Bliss Romance Series\u201d in the \u201cIce Cream Shop Series\u201d &amp;\u201cCandy Shop Series\u201d. The first novella, \u201cLove Notes &amp; Zanzibar\u201d was published July 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230;I suppose I should say a bit about myself.
