Simply put, I am a woman, wife, mother of three, and Nana of eight grandchildren. I grew up and still reside in Michigan with my husband Bill. I have always been a talker and completely enjoy creating art from words. I have always found discovering new words and then using them every chance I could to be such fun.

The very first thing I ever said I wanted to be when I grew up was an author. Then one day a children's magazine my parents subscribed me to had a writing contest. I was all in and entered my story. My most embarrassing moment story won and was published in the magazine. It was one of the greatest moments of my childhood. But then, when a check for my story arrived in the mail, I knew I was hooked. Getting paid for something I loved to do and enjoyed and did just because it was fun and because I wanted to was just heavenly!

But life happened and the dream of being an author went into hibernation. That was actually a good thing because the life that got in the way of me pursuing my childhood dream led me to the man of my dreams and set me up to get to know lots of children in so many different ways. Research, one could say. (I'm giggling now!)

Ultimately I decided to follow my first passion of becoming an author and write when I became sidelined from a bum back. I couldn’t do much else being benched so I thought to myself, why not? That’s when “The Little Jenna Jafferty Series” was born.

I've been writing ever since and expanded the genres I write in.
