About

My love for reading and writing started young. I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and since it was so hot during the summertime, my family and I would spend lots of time at the library.

It was through books that I gained a love of history. By reading, I could travel to bygone eras and experience life through the eyes of people who lived a long time ago. I especially loved the American Girls series. These books propelled me into the lives of girls of all different eras and taught me to appreciate and respect people of different cultural backgrounds.

As a historical fiction author, I love learning about history and exploring museums. Although not all history is pretty, I believe we must study history to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
