I was born and raised in the hills of Tennessee where I still reside with my husband, four children, dog, rabbits and chickens. I love to write and find it to be a wonderful way to create mirrors and windows for others - to experience life, cultivate compassion, and to inspire empathy. I am passionate about literacy and spreading the joy of books far and wide. I also love to review books! Subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep up with what I'm reading (I cannot even keep up with all that I'm reading. So many books. So little time.).
