Before I learned how to fly planes….wait…that’s not me!
I was born in Mansfield, Ohio where kids learn to downhill ski as soon as they can walk. While I was still a young girl, my mother, sister and I moved to Columbus where kids join a ski club and go to Mansfield to ski. When it became more difficult for me to get to the hills to ski, I took up running and have been running ever since. It was quite a few years after finishing high school before I was able to go to college. For nine years, I went to school in the evenings and weekends while working full time. The end result was a Bachelor’s Degree in organizational communications with a minor in psychology from Capital University, and a Master’s Degree in the science of marketing and communications from Franklin University. Both of these universities are located in Columbus, Ohio. I had married my childhood sweetheart, Gregory, just before beginning my college adventures and he was wonderful support throughout the journey.
Today, Gregory, who is also a writer, and I live in a cozy little ranch home on 3.5 acres surrounded by a stream in a rural area just south of beautiful Circleville, Ohio. We enjoy spending as much free time as possible with each other and our adopted dogs. The area where we live is a hiker’s paradise. While running is still a strong passion of mine, I feel like I am starting all over…learning how to run the hills. Of course, other passions of mine include reading and writing. My first novel, Wicked Dreams was published in 2005 and I am hard at work on my next book, the Hills of Circleville.
