About Me
As the daughter of a retired U.S. Army officer and a Master's-prepared nurse/nursing instructor, I have learned the importance of discipline, order, compassion, and education.
As the older sister of a fingerprint specialist/crime scene investigator, I have learned the importance of responsibility, measuring the impact of my actions on others, and paying the strictest attention to the tiniest details.
As one of a close-knit group of six friends scattered from West Coast to East Coast to (cyclically) overseas, I have learned the importance of adaptability, patience, and loyalty.
As the wife of a computer scientist, I have learned the importance of honesty, trust, and compromise.

I've lived in Virginia (twice), Germany, Maryland, Kansas, Texas, and now California. I've travelled to Barbados (twice); St. Lucia; St. Croix; Puerto Rico; Guadalajara, Mexico; Cote d' Ivoire; Canada (inumerable times); Italy (Rome twice, Rimini, Cinque de Terre); Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Greece; and Reykjavik, Iceland.
I've worked as a dental assistant, a tour guide, a meeting planner, a webmaster, various administrative assistant roles, a consulting firm project manager, and a marketing communications professional.
I'm a huge fan of gardening, real-life medical/surgical shows, home improvement projects, science fiction and horror stories, cheesy tearjerkers, and the sport of ultimate frisbee.
All of these experiences, and the knowledge they've imparted, help me to bring a well-rounded perspective to everything I do.
These are the gifts that I bring to you through my writing.
