I am a therapist and writer who lives in Alabama with my three corgis, children, husband, and other strange creatures. My short stories have been published in numerous literary magazines including CSM and Outer Darkness. I have a ghost story column in the Valley Planet where I share my love for ghost stories that send shivers down your spine and keep you up at night.   I will also be sharing my love for scary stories with my new horror novel, Circe,which was just released in November of 2011.  My novel, Death's Dream Kingdom,  is now available for Champagne Press and  my books  Haunted Chattanooga and Haunted North Alabama are now available from History Press.   

I am currently working on the third book in my series that starts with The Twilight Saint.    I just signed a contract with Musa Press for the first two books in this series, The Twilight Saint and The Midnight Queen.
