At 19, I moved to Arizona and fell in love with sunny days and the wild spirit of the Southwest. Most of my writing reflects my affinity for the culture and beauty of the 48th state.
 

My house is always loud with music bumping and my three boys scheming ideas like snack ziplines, dog scooters, dry ice soda bottles, and balcony dodgeball. 

When I'm not teaching, writing, or supervising mischievous children, I can be found dressing my little dog, Ricky,  in adorable outfits.
