About the Author

She is a new voice that evokes the steamy South through characters that are challenged by complex relationships dripping with passion and desire. It is clear that the author suffers no fools. Her female characters, even at their most unlikable, are strong and courageous, never losing sight of their ultimate goal. They go toe to toe with the men in a dance that draws us in and leaves us guessing who will come out on top.

She credits her writings to an upbringing surrounded by interesting stories that evoke deep emotions and sometimes heart-throbbing decisions. It is her belief that nothing in life is permanent and every situation is but a season. Therefore, one should breathe and embrace the seasons as they come and weather the storm; no matter how fierce the winds, there is a rainbow at the end. This to her is the test of love, forgiveness, and achievement. Having learned these lessons early in life with the death of her mother, she placed her gift of writing on hold to challenge her changing seasons, immersing herself in diverse careers. She has embraced this season to set forth her first novel, Time and Curses, to entertain, inspire, and motivate other new writers who have been faced with similar challenges, as well as honor those who have encouraged her along the way.
