The youngest of five siblings, the author grew up with a fiery-tempered mother and a humorous, much older father. After graduating from a Catholic women's college and earning a graduate degree, she pursued a career as a medical speech pathologist, yet was always compelled to write. Her writing days begin hours before sunrise, often in the company of her Welsh corgi. Writing is a lifelong passion for her.
