I am an English teacher with a passion for reading and writing. I earned my first degree from the University of Southern Indiana and am working on a second degree from another university. Sharing imagination with the world is something I always aspire to accomplish, and writing is one way to do that. I also love teaching and working with children in hopes to inspire and be inspired. I have a secret love and admiration for animals and nature, which inspires my writing. Writing fiction and fantasy pieces allows me to explore my wildest dreams, and escape the world for a while. I live in Indiana with my wonderful husband, Nathan. I am very close to my family, and could not accomplish all that I do without their love and support.
