'I spent most of my childhood reading any book I could find. That's when my passion of writing was born. When I was 10, I started writing short stories and poems and keep quite a collection. In 1998 I met Paul Novak and we have shared a life together for 15 years. In 1999 I introduced the world to my first born, Brandi, and again in 2000, Sarah. Today, when I am not doing what I love, writing, I spend time with my beautiful family and the addition of two dogs named Izzy, a Puggle, and Herly, a Chug. My inspirations have always been Stephen King, Poe, Ann Rice, and Dean Koontz.'
