I'm an author, book coach, and world traveler. I write about intriguing women in captivating places who become their own heroes.

I grew up writing and riding horses in far West Texas. I graduated from SMU in English/Creative Writing and went on to get an MBA from Thunderbird and a PhD from Clemson.

Originally from Texas, I've had the good fortune to live in Spain, Mexico, Tanzania, and several U.S. states, and the good sense to end up in Carlsbad, California. She loves travel, fiery food, hanging out with the neighbors in the front yard on Friday evenings, and reading.
