About

As a kid, my mom and I would get our toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc. at the Eckerd Drugs in my small hometown of Woodstock, Georgia as there was no such thing as a Wal-Mart back then. My mom, with detailed list in hand, would enter the store and almost immediately lose me. Instead of calling security (like we would in today’s world), she’d causally wander over to the school supplies aisle. I was drawn to this section of the store like a golden retriever to water. I couldn’t help myself! And this was in the days before fluorescent sticky notes, sparkly pencils and designer journals.

They still hadn’t invented gel pens with glitter by the time I stood in front of my first class of quirky middle schoolers, but I was in dream land because my school had given me a budget of $50 to spend on school supplies for my classroom! Teaching was my passion – far more than a job, it was who I was. Eleven fantastic years of teaching flew by and God erected a roadblock.  He asked me to venture off the known path and trust Him to lead me down a path of His choosing.

God turned my love of the written word and my love for all things related to school supplies into a passion for writing. As I look back over my life, it all fits together neatly. After living this writing life for the past five years, I can honestly say that I can’t imagine doing anything else. Writing is my profession, but more importantly, it’s who I am.

My three boys (my husband Jeff, my son Ashton, and my son Palmer) are the loves of my life. My writing career would be nothing if I didn’t have their daily encouragement, support, and prayers. God knew what He was doing when he gave me boys as I despise all frilly things and would rather play with Matchbox cars than a Barbie doll any day. My family loves to go to Christian concerts (especially Third Day, the David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, and toby mac), hang out in the woods of the North Georgia Mountains, and eat ice cream at The Frosty Frog Creamery (my Mom and Dad’s awesome ice cream shop). If I didn’t have my writing to keep me busy I would likely spend all my time watching HGTV.  Just as a blank piece of paper is a canvas for my words, a blank wall in my house is a canvas and the room in question is an opportunity to experiment with unique color combinations and designs.
