I was born in Idaho, but only lived there for the first few months of my life. I grew up in Southern Nevada in the tiny town of Logandale, where I spent my summer days and my weekends wandering in the wild virgin desert, or swimming in the ditches, or fishing for catfish in the little muddy stream that flowed through the valley. For most of my adult life I have lived in Utah.
I graduated from Southern Utah University with a B.A. and received a master’s degree from Utah State University. I currently live in a very small town in Utah with my family.

For five years I worked all along Interstate 15, visiting the homes of Utah's working poor, the elderly, and the disabled. I have been a newspaper reporter, a trainer, and a policy-writer and editor, dabbling always in fiction. I love literature, and this love only grows with time, and wherever I go, you can be sure I've got a book with me.
Although I've written and edited thousands of pages of training modules, training scripts, policies and procedures, that stuff is boring! My first published fiction, "Blancanieves", appeared in the anthology, Medley of Fairy Tales, published in 2017 by Serenity Brooke Press. A selection of dark short stories, Dead On The Corridor, was released in October 2017 and my short story "Peter And The Lost Boy" will appear in Medley of Fairy Tales Volume II in the fall of 2018.
I have also begun to edit fiction, and my work is found in Allison Brown's The Power of The Ruby Ring. I am currently editing a science fiction novel that is scheduled for publication in early 2019, as well as a novel for youth, and a memoir that don't yet have publication dates. Working with authors has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life so far.
